+perl-Text-Tabs+Wrap (expand and unexpand tabs + line wrapping)
+
+Text::Tabs does most of what the unix utilities expand(1) and unexpand(1) do.
+Given a line with tabs in it, expand replaces those tabs with the appropriate
+number of spaces. Given a line with or without tabs in it, unexpand adds tabs
+when it can save bytes by doing so, like the unexpand -a command.
+
+Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter. It formats a single
+paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundaries. Indentation is
+controlled for the first line ($initial_tab) and all subsequent lines
+($subsequent_tab) independently. Please note: $initial_tab and $subsequent_tab
+are the literal strings that will be used: it is unlikely you would want to
+pass in a number.
