1Text::Wrapper version 1.05, released January 18, 2014

3
4 This module provides simple word wrapping. It breaks long lines,
5 but does not alter spacing or remove existing line breaks. If
6 you're looking for more sophisticated text formatting, try the
7 Text::Format module.
8
9 Reasons to use Text::Wrapper instead of Text::Format:
10
11 * Text::Wrapper is significantly smaller.
12
13 * It does not alter existing whitespace or combine short lines.
14 It only breaks long lines. By design, Text::Format removes
15 all whitespace and then adds whitespace where it thinks
16 appropriate.
17
18 In short, Text::Wrapper is the object-oriented equivalent of
19 Text::Wrap, but with fewer bugs (I hope).
