Like sauoq, I have tried but failed to reproduce the results you reported -- either of them -- using the four paragraphs you cited. I am assuming that given this text, @CONTENT should have 7 elements (maybe 8, at most 9, if you have blank lines at the beginning and/or end of the array): 
1: "This program ... details.\n"
2: "\n"
3: "You should have ... provide one.\n"
4: "\n"
5: "You should also ... /gpl.html.\n"
6: "\n"
7: "For those ... to use that.\n"

(update: added "\n" at the end of each text line, just to be clear about that; also fixed the summary of output below.) Given data like that, and using these lines of code: 
$Text::Wrap::columns = '40';
print wrap( '','',@CONTENT );

I get the following sequence of paragraphs (summarized): 
This program is distributed in the hope
... ## 5 lines ## ...
Artistic License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the
... ## 2 lines ## ...
glad to provide one.

You should also have received a copy of
... ## 6 lines ## ...

hh/hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh/gpl.html.

For those of you that choose to use the
... ## 37 lines ## ...
protection, so you may prefer to use
that.

So it looks like the URL is being rendered where it should be. Also, when I pipe the output through "od -a", I see that the paragraph boundaries (the blank lines) are rendered as two consecutive "nl" (\n) characters, with no extra spaces. (But frankly, if there were extra spaces, I don't know why this would be a problem.)

The only thing I would consider fixing is to have the URL be broken after a slash character, rather than in the middle of a "word" token, but that probably doesn't matter.

My Perl installation is v5.8.0 built for i686-linux, and I'm using the "2001.0929" version of Text::Wrap. What are you using, and how, exactly, are you filling the @CONTENT array?
