If you use <code> tags your quine becomes much simpler:
use strict;
use LWP;
use HTTP::Request;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent::new ('LWP::UserAgent');
LWP::UserAgent::agent ($ua, 'Mozilla/5.0');
my $url = "http://www.perlmonks.org/?displaytype=displaycode;node_id=6
+62072";
my $request = HTTP::Request::new ('HTTP::Request', GET => $url);
my $response = LWP::UserAgent::request ($ua, $request);
print $response->content;
Also, you don't break formatting for replies to your node.
Edit: I think you want a question mark after dot-star. Otherwise it's q-positively trivial for me to break your code.
Edit2: I just realized that, if you put a question mark after dot-star, the end of your regex matches itself. But there are ways around that.

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).
