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

    $columns = 132;        # Wrap at 132 characters
    $huge = 'wrap';

    but again, if the text is one word and exceeds that limit, it makes the entire script crash and not produce any source code other than the headers.

      Well, we need more info then. What version are you using? Have you reduced the script so you check only Text::Wrap? Also, you said the script errors out and crashes. What's the exact message? As it stands, what you have posted should work.
