Text::WrapI18N version 0.06

This is a module which intends to substitute Text::Wrap, which supports internationalized texts including:

multibyte encodings such as UTF-8, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, GB2312, and Big5,
fullwidth characters like east Asian characters which appear in UTF-8, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, GB2312, Big5, and so on,
combining characters like diacritical marks which appear in UTF-8, ISO-8859-11 (aka TIS-620), and so on, and
languages which don't use whitespaces between words, like Chinese and Japanese.

The text is to be given in locale encoding, not always in UTF-8. (Of course locale encoding is UTF-8 in UTF-8 locales.)

$Text::WrapI18N::columns is available like $Text::Wrap::columns. Also, $Text::WrapI18N::separator is available.

However, $Text::WrapI18N::huge, $Text::WrapI18N::break, $Text::WrapI18N::tabstop, and $Text::WrapI18N::unexpand are not available yet.

This module is originally written for "debconf", a standard configuration system of Debian.
