So what was the conclusion?!

- What has your question to do with CGI?

- I would be very surprised if you have to write entirely in native and built-in
  Perl. I couldn't send an email at all under those circumstances without a lot
  of work

- The behaviour of the <pre> tag is very loosely defined. RFC 1866 says this

> The <PRE> element represents a character cell block of text and is
> suitable for text that has been formatted for a monospaced font.

  In general it simply preserves whitespace, and is rendered in a monospaced
  font

- Outlook is many years old, and even the email client on Vista is better. If
  you have any control over what people use then choose something better

- <pre> tags may work. I don't think you've told us what you want to do, apart
  from sending the same data in both text and HTML in a single mail
