Summary: Review Request: perl-Text-Format - Various subroutines to format text Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: xavier@bachelot.org QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-package-review@redhat.com,notting@redhat.com
Spec URL: http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SPECS/perl-Text-Format.spec SRPM URL: http://washington.kelkoo.net/fedora/SRPMS/perl-Text-Format-0.52-1.fc8.src.rp... Description: The format routine will format under all circumstances even if the width isn't enough to contain the longest words. Text::Wrap will die under these circumstances, although I am told this is fixed. If columns is set to a small number and words are longer than that and the leading 'whitespace' than there will be a single word on each line. This will let you make a simple word list which could be indented or right aligned. There is a chance for croaking if you try to subvert the module. If you don't pass in text then the internal text is worked on, though not modified. Text::Format is meant for more powerful text formatting than Text::Wrap allows. I also have a module called Text::NWrap that is meant as a direct replacement for Text::Wrap. Text::NWrap requires Text::Format since it uses Text::Format->format to do the actual wrapping but gives you the interface of Text::Wrap.
