my $text = q!I have a Russian article (Unicode) that I pasted into a plain-text file from a website, meaning each paragraph takes up one "line", and i'd like to be able to read it comfortably in a terminal, i.e. with wrapping on word boundaries instead of the teminal edge. fold does not handle the Unicode characters correctly - word boundaries are ignored and some characters are mangled by the line breaks.!;

print wrap('', '', $text);
