Package perl-Text-Format: Information

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 modfied.  Text::Format is meant for more powerful text
formatting than what Text::Wrap allows.
