Text::Wrapper version 1.02, released May 10, 2008 Copyright 1998 Christopher J. Madsen

DESCRIPTION

This module provides simple word wrapping. It breaks long lines, but does not alter spacing or remove existing line breaks. If you're looking for more sophisticated text formatting, try the Text::Format module.

Reasons to use Text::Wrapper instead of Text::Format:

• Text::Wrapper is significantly smaller.
• It does not alter existing whitespace or combine short lines. It only breaks long lines. By design, Text::Format removes all whitespace and then adds whitespace where it thinks appropriate.

In short, Text::Wrapper is the object-oriented equivalent of Text::Wrap, but with fewer bugs (I hope).

Text::Wrapper requires Perl 5.004 or later.
