In the Perl Cookbook 1.12 Reformatting Paragraphs.
    
Problem: long line that would be nice to break up in to lines of words.
Solution: Use the standard Text::Wrap module
    
use Text::Wrap qw($columns &wrap); 
    
$columns = 20;
wrap( $LEADTAB, $NEXTTAB, @PARA);  
    
Here is how I used it:
   
    $columns = 70; 
    print wrap( '' , "     ", @comments), "\n";
    
This will make each row maxium 70 characters, with no leading tab,
and each following line 5 spaces.
