I should have clarified...sorry about that. This is a text box where the text wraps to the next line at 30 characters.

    not tested, just an idea...
    use Text::Autoformat; my ($allTheText) = shift; ## all your text to format my (@lins); ## your resulting lines my ($widthTxt) = 30; ## your line width... { my ($formated)=autoformat($allTheText, { left=>5, right=>$widthTxt +, all=>1}) if ($allTheText); foreach (split(/\n+/,$formated)) { push(@lins,$_); ## array w/lines of max.30chrs.wth. } }
