I may have found a bug in Text::Wrap. I wrote a test to illuminate the situation (see below). Can anyone confirm that this is a problem in their environment? I haven't worked out the fix yet...

Test Script:

use Text::Wrap;
local $| = 1;

print "Text::Wrap info: \n";
print "Subverion:  $Text::Wrap::SUBVERSION \n";
print "Version:  $Text::Wrap::VERSION \n";

my @tests = (
  'the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog',
  '==============================================',
);

my $columns = 28;

local $Text::Wrap::columns = $columns;
local $Text::Wrap::unexpand = 0;
local $Text::Wrap::huge = 'wrap';

foreach my $str ( @tests ) {
  my $wrapped = wrap('', '', $str);
  chomp($wrapped);

  print "\n";
  print "123456789|123456789|123456789|123456789|123456789|123456789|\
+n\n";
  print $wrapped;
  print "\n-----------\n\n";
}
