Re: [FWP] new real world golf hole: line wrapping (proposed andsolved)

[Bill Jones <bill@fccj.org>]

I always thought so; and then again, Tom Christiansen wrote a formatter and
posted it to Usenet several times -- that I know of.

Here is a script taken out of the Cookbook Chapter One examples:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# wrapdemo - show how Text::Wrap works

@input = ("Folding and splicing is the work of an editor,",
          "not a mere collection of silicon",
          "and",
          "mobile electrons!");

use Text::Wrap qw($columns &wrap);

$columns = 20;
print "0123456789" x 2, "\n";
print wrap("    ", "  ", @input), "\n";



(PS - While I've enjoyed many of the 'reduce this problem to the smallest
solution -- I've NEVER been interested in golf.  :)
