NAME
       Text::WrapI18N - Line wrapping module with support for multibyte,
       fullwidth, and combining characters and languages without whitespaces
       between words

SYNOPSIS
	 use Text::WrapI18N qw(wrap $columns);
	 wrap(firstheader, nextheader, texts);

DESCRIPTION
       This module intends to be a better Text::Wrap module.  This module is
       needed to support multibyte character encodings such as UTF-8, EUC-JP,
       EUC-KR, GB2312, and Big5.  This module also supports characters with
       irregular widths, such as combining characters (which occupy zero
       columns on terminal, like diacritical marks in UTF-8) and fullwidth
       characters (which occupy two columns on terminal, like most of east
       Asian characters).  Also, minimal handling of languages which doesn't
       use whitespaces between words (like Chinese and Japanese) is supported.

       Like Text::Wrap, hyphenation and "kinsoku" processing are not
       supported, to keep simplicity.

       wrap(firstheader, nextheader, texts) is the main subroutine of
       Text::WrapI18N module to execute the line wrapping.  Input parameters
       and output data emulate Text::Wrap.  The texts have to be written in
       locale encoding.
