NAME
   Text::Truncate - Perl module with simple string truncating routine

REQUIREMENTS
   This module only uses standard modules. It should run on Perl 5.004.

INSTALLATION
   Installation is pretty standard:

     perl Makefile.PL
     make test
     make install

   (On Windows platforms you should use nmake instead.)

   Using Build.PL (if you have Module::Build installed):

     perl Build.PL
     perl Build test
     perl Build install

SYNOPSIS
     use Text::Truncate;

     my $long_string = "This is a very long string";

     # outputs "This is..."
     print truncstr( $long_string, 10);

     # outputs "This is a-"
     print truncstr( $long_string, 10, "-");

     # outputs "This is a "
     print truncstr( $long_string, 10, "");

     # outputs "This is---"
     $Text::Truncate::DEFAULT_MARKER = "---";
     print truncstr( $long_string, 10);

DESCRIPTION
   This is a simple, no-brainer subroutine to truncate a string and add an
   optional cutoff marker (defaults to ``...'').

   (Yes, this is a really brain-dead sort of thing to make a module out of,
   but then again, I use it so often that it might as well be in a module.)

   The synopsis gives examples of how to use it.
