in thread Estimating height of TEXTAREA from content

Given an 80-character soft-wrapping of a multi-paragraph scalar of English words in a monospace font ($content), what will the height of it be in characters ($rows)?

Wrap it yourself and count the lines:

use Text::Wrap; my $rows = split("\n", fill('','', $content););

    Nice! In a fit of jealousy for not having thought of this myself I'll point out that the default column width for Text::Wrap is 76 characters. So an amended line if the stated 80 is the real case.

    use Text::Wrap; $Text::Wrap::columns = 80; # and continue as above...

    Thanks. FYI: Use of implicit split to @_ deprecated.

    my @rows = split("\n", fill('','', $content)); my $rows = $#rows + 1;

    Maybe?
