The perlmonks' cgi only break long lines if it is found a space or tab on some part of line.
Sometimes, people, writes some one-line code without any spaces, so the result is a wide page. So, trying to wrap the code to 50 chars is useless. I wrote once, a script whithout almost any space ... i'm guilty.
I think, the solution, is not on your browser ...
Re-educate monks (including me here) for putting some spaces on a long string (every 80 char, p.e.), could be the real solution

Umm, i've noticed that those long unbreakable strings are breaken (with another criteria) when you see the nodes whithout login, as an Anonymous Monk :).
perl -Te 'print map { chr((ord)-((10,20,2,7)[$i++])) } split //,"turo"'

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).
