That works for me. What is the value of $Text::Wrap::huge? If set to 'wrap', Text::Wrap will break a long word up at the column limit. Do you have an old version? 'wrap' is the default in mine.

If that looks ok, you might try setting $Text::Wrap::columns to one or two less than the screen width. The target may not treat "\n" as zero width.
