Hi,
I have written, what is in my humble opinion, an improved version of
Text::Warp. It is done as an object so it is thread safe and does not
die when the longest word plus leading whitespace is longer than
column width. It also has a center subroutine along with wrap and
fill and subs to set the config vars. Also, it puts a newline at the
end of the paragraph which Text::Wrap does not do. And it puts two
spaces after a period.
It allows you to right align text or fill the right side with spaces
out to width. Becuase it does not die when width is less than longest
word it can be used to make a word list, either left or right aligned.
I hope that people would comment on it's performance/bugs before it
goes on CPAN. It is right now version 0.1.
You can find it at
