I used Text::Wrap to display a list of quotations stored in a database. Sample code looks like: 
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Text::Wrap;

my $quote = {
  ID     => 308 ,
  Author => "Someone" ,
  Quote  => "123456789_" x 10
};

local $Text::Wrap::columns = 71;  # from (70 + 1) where 70 is the max 
+width

print "\nQuote Number " . $quote->{"ID"}     . ":\n"
    . wrap('', '',        $quote->{"Quote"}) . "\n"
    . " - "             . $quote->{"Author"} . "\n\n";

The output is: 

Quote Number 308:
123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_
123456789_123456789_123456789_
 - Someone
