I had a similar issue to overcome, this is my solution, with slightly less overheads...

It's mainly for use with PHP and Perl, but might work in other languages.

You're right, Christian. The editor in Wordpress is hateful and "corrects" certain characters, even when they're wrapped in pre tags.

Hi,

the perl should read:

###
my $file = "apache.config";
open(CONFIG, "< $file") or die "can't open $file: $!";
my %config = map {
s/#.*//; # Remove comments
s/^\s+//; # Remove opening whitespace
s/\s+$//; # Remove closing whitespace
m/(.*?)\s*=\s*(.*)/; }
;

# Print it out
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\%config);
###

###
my $file = "apache.config";
open(CONFIG, "< $file") or die "can't open $file: $!";
while () {
chomp;
s/#.*//; # Remove comments
s/^\s+//; # Remove opening whitespace
s/\s+$//; # Remove closing whitespace
next unless length;
my ($key, $value) = split(/\s*=\s*/, $_, 2);
$config{$key} = $value;
}

# Print it out
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\%config);
###
