It might be better not to count the spaces, but the characters, which will be a better guess for the actual line length. You can wrap any string to a specified minimum and maximum chars per line (here:{3,30}) with that regex:

$_ = 'School of Wisdom and Knowledge College Preparatory';
s/(.{3,30})\s+(.+?)/$1\n$2/g;
print;

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
