Using the following code if I run the enclosed code, the Hellos stay on the same line. If I change the Hello to Hello<space>, it wraps fine. I've tried Text::Wrapper and have gotten similar results.

How can I get the Hellos<sans spaces> to wrap correctly? Is it possible with this module, or do I need to roll my own solution?

The real story: The Hellos are simulating a super-long filename path(greater than 60 characters). I'd like to wrap the super-long filename so that it spans multiple lines.

Thanks for your help! 


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#Text wrapping snippet
use Text::Format;

$text = new Text::Format;
$text->columns(65);
print $text->format("Hello" x 190);
