in reply to fixing paragraphs

You can use Text::Wrap to do it.

Sample: 

  $l = "sentence to format.  This is a sample sentence to format.  Thi
+s is a sample sentence to format.  This is a sample sentence to forma
+t.";

 use Text::Wrap;

  $Text::Wrap::columns = 52;
  print wrap("    ", ' ', $l), "\n\n";
__END__
    sentence to format. This is a sample sentence
 to format. This is a sample sentence to format.
 This is a sample sentence to format.

    That is not a bad idea and I will remember this for the future.

    But, the text for format is several long paragraphs where I just want to join the incomplete sentences together. I do not need to format or wrap the text as I am going to end up importing this into Latex/Lyx for formatting the final output.
