Youre problem is this, the echo string in the perl script strips off the "
character, which means that you feed tidy this string
<FONT FaCe=Comic Sans MS>test</A>, which is wrong.
rewrite to something like this.
my $Message = "<FONT FaCe='Comic Sans MS'>test</A>";
This yields the proper result for you, or even better
my $Message = qq ! <FONT FaCe='Comic Sans MS'>test</A> !;
