Re: Force paragraph width, line length, fixed width

You may want to have a look at Text::Wrap or Damian Conway's Text::Autoformat.

use Text::Wrap;
$Text::Wrap::columns = 80;
$text = "blah blah blah...";
print wrap('','',$paragraph);

Text::Wrap is in the Perl core, and as far as conducting reviews of modules written by Conway goes, one may as well conduct a source code review of Perl itself. Companies and their silly rules... MeowChow s aamecha.s a..a\u$&owag.print	[reply]

Whether or not you read the code in detail, some of Conway's modules are more stable than others. Thus while I would recommend Parse::RecDescent for functionality, I think most companies have legitimate reasons for not using Bleach...	[reply]
