       Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter.
       It formats a single paragraph at a time by breaking lines
       at word boundries.  Indentation is controlled for the
       first line ($initial_tab) and all subsquent lines
       ($subsequent_tab) independently.  $Text::Wrap::columns
       should be set to the full width of your output device.

               print wrap("\t","","This is a bit of text that forms
                       a normal book-style paragraph");

       It's not clear what the correct behavior should be when
       Wrap() is presented with a word that is longer than a
       line.  The previous behavior was to die.  Now the word is
       split at line-length.
