Am I missing something or is that:

while (length <= 81) {
  s/^(.{1,80})\s//;
  print "$1\n";
}

> perl -pe 's/(.{1,80})\s/$1\n/g'

I would make that (.{1,80}\S)\s+

My kids just did a science experiment demonstrating that digestion begins
in the mouth.  It involved placing drops of saliva into a jar of creamed
corn and letting it sit to see what happens.
