Re: [Po4a-devel]should we switch to Text::WrapI18N ?

Hello,
while trying to fix the fact that '. ' is changed '. ', I noticed that
there is a Text::WrapI18N on my box, which can handle "strange" languages
where all chars do not have the same width or not even a space char.
Where does it happen? Is this only a Man.pm issue?
Should we switch to it or is the dependency too much? But if not, how
to
deal with those languages?
It's only 6KB, it's very light.
Indeed, po4a does not use the Text::Wrap module right now, because we
would
loose the spaces at the end of lines (which are important within the po
file). But Text::WrapI18N is made by Tomohiro KUBOTA, which I know from the
debian-i18n mailing list. I'm sure we could get him adding an option for us
here.
What I don't get at all is where do you want to use it.
Jordi, can you get this library on your box, or is it Debian only?
It gave no problem, it's a cpan module. It's not yet in Gentoo, but if we
use it, I can make its package.
