Text::Wrap(3)                                                    Text::Wrap(3)



NAME
     Text::Wrap - line wrapping to form simple paragraphs

SYNOPSIS
             use Text::Wrap

             print wrap($initial_tab, $subsequent_tab, @text);

             use Text::Wrap qw(wrap $columns);

             $columns = 132;


DESCRIPTION
     Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter.  It formats a
     single paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundries.
     Indentation is controlled for the first line ($initial_tab) and all
     subsquent lines ($subsequent_tab) independently.  $Text::Wrap::columns
     should be set to the full width of your output device.

EXAMPLE
             print wrap("\t","","This is a bit of text that forms
                     a normal book-style paragraph");


BUGS
     It's not clear what the correct behavior should be when Wrap() is
     presented with a word that is longer than a line.  The previous behavior
     was to die.  Now the word is split at line-length.
