-To restore the old (dying) behavior, set $Text::Wrap::huge to

+Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter. It formats a
+single paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundries.
+Indentation is controlled for the first line (C<$initial_tab>) and
+all subsquent lines (C<$subsequent_tab>) independently. Please note:
+C<$initial_tab> and C<$subsequent_tab> are the literal strings that will
+be used: it is unlikley you would want to pass in a number.
+
+Lines are wrapped at C<$Text::Wrap::columns> columns. C<$Text::Wrap::columns>
+should be set to the full width of your output device. In fact,
+every resulting line will have length of no more than C<$columns - 1>.
+
+Beginner note: In example 2, above C<$columns> is imported into
+the local namespace, and set locally. In example 3,
+C<$Text::Wrap::columns> is set in its own namespace without importing it.
+
+When words that are longer than C<$columns> are encountered, they
+are broken up. C<wrap()> adds a C<"\n"> at column C<$columns>.
+This behavior can be overridden by setting C<$huge> to
+'die' or to 'overflow'. When set to 'die', large words will cause
+C<die()> to be called. When set to 'overflow', large words will be
+left intact.
Text::Wrap::fill() is a simple multi-paragraph formatter. It formats
each paragraph separately and then joins them together when it's done. It
-will destroy any whitespace in the original text. It breaks text into
+will destory any whitespace in the original text. It breaks text into
paragraphs by looking for whitespace after a newline. In other respects
it acts like wrap().
+When called in list context, C<wrap()> will return a list of lines and
+C<fill()> will return a list of paragraphs.
+
+Historical notes: Older versions of C<wrap()> and C<fill()> always
+returned strings. Also, 'die' used to be the default value of
+C<$huge>. Now, 'wrap' is the default value.
