Duh, wrong e-mail address, sorry if solutions show up twice now after a
while...
Should do the trick if paragraphs are separated by *empty* lines:
perl -00 -ne'/.{65535}/||print'
Here's one that does split on lines with whitespace too, but is much
less elegant than my first one:
perl -0777 -F'(?<=\n)\s*(?=\n)' -ane'/.{65535}/||print f...@f'
Maybe one can save one or the other stroke with a smarter solution of
the newline issue...
