Brilliant++!

Just needs a couple of tweaks:

print "| $_ |\n" for map substr($_ . ' ' x 16, 0, 16), $s =~ m[(.{1,16
+})(?:\s+|$)]g;
#            ^^                                                       
+  ^^^^^^^^^

(Otherwise, the final word won’t be printed unless it happens to be followed by whitespace.)

Good point about the $++

The \n is provided by -l in my code.
