Hello fellow monks, I call upon your wisdom to help me with this task.
I have the following string. 
my $owners = 'Shaun Anderson,Salve Barnao,James Clark,John Cross,Bruce
+ Jenkins,George Kelly,Danny Phipps & Robert Rendel';

[download]
This string is dynamic with the number of owners varying from 1 to many. I am wanting to split this string if its longer than say 45 characters. I want to split on the ',' that seperates each owner. eg 
my $owners1 = 'Shaun Anderson,Salve Barnao,James Clark,John Cross,';
my $owners2 = 'Bruce Jenkins,George Kelly,Danny Phipps & Robert Rendel
+';

[download]
Therefore it may be slightly less than 45 characters but that would be ok. This line of code is used in producing horse racebooks. Rather than having one line that is too long, I want to split it into 2 or 3 lines depending on the number of owners.
Thankyou very much, Digger
