txt2html uses a standard markup system just for that (and is already written in Perl).

Of course, if you're writing a Perl script, you could just s/ / /g on a Notes file, but how well it'll work with the rest of your requirements I don't know.

https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=284 was my attempt to get Notes' HTML formatting improved, to no visible success :-(

HTH,
