There is an error in what I posted (sorry). The input is read into the $line
variable, but your regular expression is implicitly testing the default
variable $_. The loop should be:
while ( my $line = <> ) {
if ( $line =~ /$rgx/ ) {
print "\n";
print wrap(",", $line);
}
}
I don’t know what Text::Wrap is complaining about. It helps if you are able to
include a text string in your posted source code that demonstrates the problem.
Use the built-in DATA file handle to include data within your program source.
Check out ‘perldoc perldata’ and search for “__DATA__”. This is the pattern:
...
while ( my $line = <DATA> ) {
if ( $line =~ /$rgx/ ) {
print "\n";
print wrap(",", $line);
}
}
...
__DATA__
This is data to be read using the <DATA> operation.
