I had to paste the individual lines all onto one line before I could get it to run. Once you've done that, you can run it through B::Deparse to get an idea of where it's safe to insert line breaks. Too bad the OP didn't break it at safe spots rather than stress out over trying to keep it to 40 columns.

But then again, it can be confusing getting used to the text entry box at first. It wraps at 58 characters, making it tricky, especially for new monks, to know what to do about long lines.

UPDATE: The original post has been fixed. Well done!
