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

SYNOPSIS
	       use Text::Wrap

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

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

	       $columns = 132;
	       $huge = 'die';
	       $huge = 'wrap';

DESCRIPTION
       Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter.
       It formats a single paragraph at a time by breaking lines
       at word boundaries.  Indentation is controlled for the
       first line ($initial_tab) and all subsequent lines
       ($subsequent_tab) independently.

       Lines are wrapped at $Text::Wrap::columns columns.
       $Text::Wrap::columns should be set to the full width of
       your output device.

       When words that are longer than $columns are encountered,
       they are broken up.  Previous versions of wrap() die()ed
       instead.	 To restore the old (dying) behavior, set
       $Text::Wrap::huge to 'die'.

       Text::Wrap::fill() is a simple multi-paragraph formatter.
       It formats each paragraph separately and then joins them
       together when it's done.	 It will destroy any whitespace
       in the original text.  It breaks text into paragraphs by
       looking for whitespace after a newline.	In other respects
       it acts like wrap().

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