Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

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.
