Sounds like the text 'click on this url' is being processed differently than the URL itself. Maybe you're printing one and passing the other to Text::Wrap?

Give us a simplified test case that exhibits the problem you're seeing. Your description of the problem makes it sound like it's a logic problem with your code, not with Text::Wrap.

OK Fastolfe, Thanks for writing.
Here is my code:

#! /usr/local/bin/perl 
use Text::Wrap;

# Check Referring URL
&check_url;  # Code not included for clarity

# Parse Form Contents
&parse_form; # Code not included for clarity

# Send E-Mail
&send_mail;  # This is the function we need to deal with!

sub send_mail {
   my $count, $to, $name;

   # When these are commented out, the URL fits beautifully,
   # Only prob is that we need to wrap the text!
   $Text::Wrap::columns=60;
   $FORM{'message'} = wrap("","",$FORM{'message'});

   if ($FORM{'fromemail'} eq "") { $FORM{'fromemail'} ="webmaster\@xxx
+.com"; }
   if ($FORM{'from'} eq "") { $FORM{'from'} ="xxx.com"; }
   
   # Process form variables for up to 5 email addresses
   # sent in by the form.
   for ($count=1; $count<=5; $count++) {
           $to     = 'email' . $count;
        $name     = 'name' . $count;
        $type    = 'email_type' . $count;
        if ($FORM{$to} ne "") 
        {
            if ($FORM{$type} eq 'text')
            {
                   open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t");
                    print MAIL "To: $FROM{$name} <$FORM{$to}>\n";
                   print MAIL "From: $FORM{'from'} <$FORM{'fromemail'}
+>\n";
                            print MAIL "Content-type: text\n";
                   print MAIL "Subject: National Biosolids Partnership
+ Web Site\n\n";
                print MAIL "$FORM{'message'}\n";
                close (MAIL);
               }
               else # it's HTML mail
               {
                   # Grab the header
                   $header = &GetTheHeader ();
                   
                   # Grab the footer
                   $footer = &GetTheFooter ();
                   
                   # Format the message to HTML
                $message = $FORM{'message'};
                   $message =~ s/\n/<BR>/g;
                   $message =~ s|(http\S+\s)|<A href="$1">$1</A>|g;
                   
                   open(MAIL,"|$mailprog -t");
                    print MAIL "To: $FROM{$name} <$FORM{$to}>\n";
                   print MAIL "From: $FORM{'from'} <$FORM{'fromemail'}
+>\n";
                    print MAIL "Content-type: text/html\n";
                print MAIL "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";                     
+          
                   print MAIL "Subject: National Biosolids Partnership
+ Web Site\n\n";
                   
                   print MAIL "$header";
                print MAIL "$message\n";
                print MAIL "$footer";
                   close (MAIL);
               }
        }
   }

I said a simple test case, not your entire application. :)

Before we begin, I need to state right off the bat: use strict and warnings and use CGI or die;

Here is the test case I used. The results are not consistent with the problem you're seeing. See if you can reduce your application down to something as simple as this and see if your problem persists.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Text::Wrap;

my $data;
{
  local $/;
  $data = <DATA>;
}

$Text::Wrap::columns = 60;

print "Before:\n";
print $data;
print "\n";

print "After:\n";
print wrap("", "", $data);
print "\n";

__DATA__
This is a block of text that will precede the URL that is being presen
+ted

THE URL    http://xxx.yyy.com/admin/more_grassroots/bigalerts/thefeder
+algovernment/oy_veit/email/the_email_template.html

This is the concluding block of text that will appear AFTER the URL.

If this block is NOT at the bottom of the email, then we need to fix t
+he wrapping algorithm!

This prints:

As expected.

I agree, definitly make a simple example! You are concluding that Text::Wrap is the problem, but there is a lot more going on in there.

Try peeking at $FORM{'message'} just before and just after the call to wrap, and see if it indeed got re-arranged at that point.
