Ah good idea.
About the formatting:
perl darwin.pl | fmt -72
would do it.
A perl only solution could use Text::Wrap:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use Data::Dumper;
use Text::Wrap qw(wrap);
my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );
$agent->get('http://cgi.darwinawards.com/cgi/random.pl');
my $content = $agent->content( format => "text" );
my $cr = chr 169;
$content =~ s/.*\d\d\s+Urban Legend//s;
$content =~ s/.*\d\d\s+Personal Account//s;
$content =~ s/.*Reader Submission\s+Pending Acceptance//s;
$content =~ s/\s*DarwinAwards\.com\s*$cr.*//s;
$content =~ s/.*?\([^\)]*?\d{2}[^\)]*\) //s;
$content =~ s/.*Darwin\s?Award\s?Nominee//si;
$content =~ s/.*Confirmed \S+\s?by Darwin//si;
$content =~ s/.*Honorable Mentions//s;
$content =~ s/submitted by.*//si;
$content =~ s/109876543210.*//s;
$content =~ s/^\s+//;
print wrap("\t", "", "$content\n");

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
