you can split the string on whitespace, for one.
my @array = split /\s+/, $string;
>How do I measure a string to see if it is greater than 85 characters?
my $string_len = length($string);

if ( (length $string) > 85 ) {
my @split = split /\b\w+$/, $string;
}
or something like that...it depends on what you want to do once you break the
string...
