Text::Format format() format text into a paragraph. text is first broken into words and then joined back together to make up the paragraph. paragraphs() treats each element of the array passed in as a separate paragraph and passes them to format() for formatting. the list returned will be then formatted into separate paragraphs center() centers all the lines that were passed in. expand() expand tabs into spaces. unexpand() turn spaces into tabs. first calls expand() to expand tabs into spaces and then turns tabstop number of spaces into tabs, you can set tabstop size with tabstop(). Text::NWrap wrap() simple interface to Text::Format->format(), acts similar to Text::Wrap::wrap() There are some incompatible changes compared to version 0.33. Look at the Changes file to see what they are. This release has no changes with regard to functionality of Text::Format, it just adds the module Text::NWrap and there are some internal changes to make inheritance better.
