Downside is that it's more work for the golfers if they don't use
special chars. So you should probably include both the TEXTAREA and the
upload as options on the submit page.

$script =~ s#\cM\cJ#<BR>#g; # Replace newlines by <BR> tags.
# Not really needed inside a <PRE>, but
# simplifies next expression
$script =~ s#([\0-\x1f])#'<FONT COLOR="red">^'.($1^"\x40").'</FONT>'#ge;
# Replace all other special chars with ^X.
# Display tese in red.
Note that you would also need to handle the characters above 127:
$script =~ s#([\x7f-\xff])#'<FONT COLOR="red">\x'.(sprintf '%x',ord$1).
'</FONT>'#ge;
