Philip Newton <Philip.Newton@gmx.net> sent in a clean patch that
added support for defining words differently; that prevents
Text::Wrap from untainting strings; and that fixes a documentation
bug.
So that fill.t can be used in the version included in the perl
distribution, fill.t no longer uses File::Slurp.
Both Sweth Chandramouli <svc@sweth.net> and Drew Degentesh
<ddegentesh@daed.com> both objected to the automatic unexpand
that Text::Wrap does on its results. Drew sent a patch which
has been integrated.
Way back in '97, Joel Earl <jrearl@VNET.IBM.COM> asked that
it be possible to use a line separator other than \n when
adding new lines. There is now support for that.

Bugfix by Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com>: don't add extra
whitespace when working one an array of input (as opposed to a
single string).
Performance rewrite: use m/\G/ rather than s///.
You can now specify that words that are too long to wrap can simply
overflow the line. Feature requested by James Hoagland
<hoagland@SiliconDefense.com> and by John Porter <jdporter@min.net>.
Documentation changes from Rich Bowen <Rich@cre8tivegroup.com>.

Combined Fill.pm into Wrap.pm. It appears there are versions of
Wrap.pm with fill in them.

Over the last couple of years, many people sent in various
rewrites of Text::Wrap. I should have done something about
updating it long ago. If someone wants to take it over from
me, discuss it in perl-porters. I'll be happy to hand it
over.
Anyway, I have a bunch of people to thank. I didn't
use what any of them sent in, but I did take ideas from
all of them. Many sent in complete new implamentations.

The end result is a very slight change in the API. There
is now an additional package variable: $Text::Wrap::huge.
When $huge is set to 'die' then long words will cause
wrap() to die. When it is set to 'wrap', long words will
be wrapped. The default is 'wrap'.
<shout>LONG WORDS WILL NOW BE WRAPPED BY DEFAULT</shout>.
This is a change in behavior.
At the bottom of Text::Wrap, there was a function (fill())
sitting there unpublished. There was a note that Tim Pierce
had a faster version, but a search on CPAN failed to turn it
up. Text::Fill is now available.
