Term::...eBreak(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

Term::Table::LineBreak — bestie, this is the little helper that breaks up lines so they fit in tables. Periodt.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, real talk: this one is meant for internal use. It's not the main character you call from your own scripts — it's the backstage crew. 💅

What it does is take long lines of text and split them up so they actually fit inside table rows. That's the whole vibe. It's giving "I make the tall thing short so the table doesn't look a mess." No cap. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, here's how the internals do it:

use Term::Table::LineBreak;

my $lb = Term::Table::LineBreak->new(string => $STRING);

$lb->break($SIZE);
while (my $part = $lb->next) {
    ...
}

You make a new object with string => $STRING, tell it how wide to chop things with $lb->break($SIZE), and then just keep calling $lb->next in a while loop to grab each piece one at a time until there's nothing left. Iconic loop, honestly. 🔥
