>>try searching on text wrapping<< I tried that before I posted. Text::Autoformat does a lot more than textwrap.
"The fundamental task of the autoformat subroutine is to identify and rearrange independent paragraphs in a text. Paragraphs typically consist of a series of lines containing at least one non-whitespace character, followed by one or more lines containing only optional whitespace. This is a more liberal definition than many other formatters use: most require an empty line to terminate a paragraph. Paragraphs may also be denoted by bulleting, numbering, or quoting . . ." Once a paragraph has been isolated, autoformat fills and re-wraps its lines according to the margins that are specified in its argument list. These are placed after the text to be formatted, in a hash reference:" It's also sensitive to comment characters in code and so on. But I'll keep looking.
