in thread Perl format line breaking, $FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS apparently ignored
Sounds like a bug.
Confirmed
Its always the features that are never tested that don't work :)
not tested in bleadperl http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=%24%3A
not tested in in perl 5.6.0
Pod::Text used it way back (but I doubt it really worked even then) but it no longer uses ir or format OUTPUT
but not tested 17 years ago in perl-5.000
Maybe it worked in perl-4, who knows, but it was never tested in perl-5, so it should probably be removed from the documentation or deprecated or something
