Even though the Perl parser sees that as Pod and ignores it, it's important to advise people that it's not proper Pod and may behave unexpectedly with some Pod parsers now or in the future. For a single paragraph (no blank lines), a Pod =for directive would work as well (though with slightly more to type.)

A hash named $requestParams is created containing all
the data needed for the http transaction. This data
is then stored in $self->RequestParams, and no further data
is needed.

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.
