Generic Syntax highlighting module

[Stephen O'D]

Guys,

I am looking for a module that can syntax highlight lots of different
types of source code so I can display it in a browser.

I have tried installing Syntax::Highlight::Universal, which is based
on the Colorer library, but it fails to compile for me and the module
doesn't seem to be maintained any more.

Any suggestions of a good module to use that supports many different
languages?

thanks,

Stephen.

For all things Perl, use PerlTidy.
Here's one of my scripts converted to html for browsinghttp://www.tlviewer.org/crypto/DHBigInt.pl.html

Thanks for that - I really need something that works for a whole bunch
of languages. I may have to roll my sleeves up and fix
Syntax::Highlight::Universal, as it seems to support most languages.

For an editor have you tried gvim yet ?

I am more of an emacs fan to be honest I don't want to create
myself an editor, I want to be able to display syntax highlighted code
in a browser, and support many languages ...
