NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     Text::Wrap	- line wrapping	to form	simple paragraphs

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

	     use Text::Wrap

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

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

	     $columns =	132;

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
