Text::Wrapper version [%version%], released [%date%]
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.
