inserting <br>

[windowcleaner]

I've got a string named $text in my script which contains some retrieved data.
Now I want to insert a <br> tag at each 60th postion.. so on the 60th, 120th..and so on.. I havent got a clue what code to do this..

It's not a good idea to break the lines like that. Have you looked at the modules that Jeff suggested in your prior question?

Text::Format
http://search.cpan.org/~gabor/Text-Format0.52/lib/Text/Format.pm

Text::Wrap
http://search.cpan.org/~muir/Text-Tabs+Wrap-2005.0824/lib/Text/Wrap.pm

hmm yes fishmonger, but i cant get them to work.

For example if I try the text::wrap module like this:

---------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI;
use Text::Wrap;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
@text="1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1111111111111111111111";
$Text::Wrap::columns = 60;
#print wrap('', '', @text);


print wrap("\t","",@text);
----------------------------------

it inserts tabs at certain points. I looked at the cpan site about this, but can't find a solution. so I thought, if I place <br> tags at each 60th position, I would get the same effect..
