I don't see how that's ever useful. If the string has less than 100 characters, it returns nothing. If the string has 100 or more characters, it returns either the same as the OP's solution or too many characters. (I'm assuming 100 is a maximum, such as a screen width or a field width.)
You've also used a different definition of "word" than everyone else such that cutting "don't" into "don" and "'t" is acceptable, and so is cutting "don't" into "don'" and "t".

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
