= 2001/09/29 Philip Newton sent in a clean patch that added support for defining words differently; that prevents Text::Wrap from untainting strings; and that fixes a documentation bug. So that fill.t can be used in the version included in the perl distribution, fill.t no longer uses File::Slurp. Both Sweth Chandramouli and Drew Degentesh both objected to the automatic unexpand that Text::Wrap does on its results. Drew sent a patch which has been integrated. Way back in '97, Joel Earl asked that it be possible to use a line separator other than \n when adding new lines. There is now support for that. = 2001/01/30 Bugfix by Michael G Schwern : don't add extra whitespace when working one an array of input (as opposed to a single string). Performance rewrite: use m/\G/ rather than s///. You can now specify that words that are too long to wrap can simply overflow the line. Feature requested by James Hoagland and by John Porter . Documentation changes from Rich Bowen . = 1998/11/29 Combined Fill.pm into Wrap.pm. It appears there are versions of Wrap.pm with fill in them. = 1998/11/28 Over the last couple of years, many people sent in various rewrites of Text::Wrap. I should have done something about updating it long ago. If someone wants to take it over from me, discuss it in perl-porters. I'll be happy to hand it over. Anyway, I have a bunch of people to thank. I didn't use what any of them sent in, but I did take ideas from all of them. Many sent in complete new implamentations. Ivan Brawley Jacqui Caren Jeff Kowalski Allen Smith Sullivan N. Beck The end result is a very slight change in the API. There is now an additional package variable: $Text::Wrap::huge. When $huge is set to 'die' then long words will cause wrap() to die. When it is set to 'wrap', long words will be wrapped. The default is 'wrap'. LONG WORDS WILL NOW BE WRAPPED BY DEFAULT. This is a change in behavior. At the bottom of Text::Wrap, there was a function (fill()) sitting there unpublished. There was a note that Tim Pierce had a faster version, but a search on CPAN failed to turn it up. Text::Fill is now available.
