From @eserte

This is a bug report for perl from slaven.rezic@berlin.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.

The following script

#!perl
require Text::Wrap;
$VAR1 = " (Karl-Bonhoeffer-Nervenklinik zwischen Hermann-Piper-Str. und U-Bahnhof) ";
$VAR2 = " ";
$VAR3 = "(5079,19635 5124,19634 5228,19320 5246,19244)\n";
Text::Wrap::wrap($VAR1,$VAR2,$VAR3);
__END__

dies with the message:

This shouldn't happen at /usr/perl5.8.8/lib/5.8.8/Text/Wrap.pm line 65.

A workaround would be to set $huge to "overflow" (and maybe to tell
the user so).

Regards,
Slaven

I should have added, that, as the module's shipped with the Core Perl
distribution, the perl5 maintainers get to grapple with the problem
should this strategy fail!

From @muir

I cannot reproduce this problem.

I've tried perl 5.8.8, 5.8.7, 5.8.0.

I've tried both my distributed version of Text::Wrap and the version
from perl 5.8.8 & 5.9.3 distributions.

Which version of Text::Wrap are you using?
