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");

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
