I think perltidy is pretty close to what I'm looking for, especially
since it's just a perl module (maybe we should phalanx him into
putting it up on CPAN).  I'm going to try writing a blosxom
(http://blosxom.com) plugin to autoformat perl, which this should work
nicely for.

I'm not really interested in the tidy part of it right now, just the
html generation part of it.
