You should really use <br /> instead of <p></p>, and consider using
something like (warning not tested):
<example type="untested">
$in_para = 0;
foreach (split '\n', $text) {
if (/^\s*$/) { #if blank line or only white space
if ($in_para) {
$in_para = 0;
print "</p>\n";
}
print "<br />\n";
} else {
unless ($in_para) {
$in_para = 1;
print "<p>\n";
}
print "$_\n";
}
}
print "</p>\n" if ($in_para);
</example>
