           Summary: Review Request:  perl-Text-Format - Various subroutines

Spec URL: http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SPECS/perl-Text-Format.spec
SRPM URL: http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SRPMS/perl-Text-Format-0.52-1.fc8.src.rpm
Description: 
The format routine will format under all circumstances even if the width isn't
enough to contain the longest words. Text::Wrap will die under these
circumstances, although I am told this is fixed. If columns is set to a small
number and words are longer than that and the leading 'whitespace' than there
will be a single word on each line. This will let you make a simple word list
which could be indented or right aligned. There is a chance for croaking if you
try to subvert the module. If you don't pass in text then the internal text is
worked on, though not modified. Text::Format is meant for more powerful text
formatting than Text::Wrap allows. I also have a module called Text::NWrap that
is meant as a direct replacement for Text::Wrap. Text::NWrap requires
Text::Format since it uses Text::Format->format to do the actual wrapping but
gives you the interface of Text::Wrap.
