perl-Text-CharWidth (perl module) This perl module, Text::CharWidth, gets number of occupied columns of a string on a terminal. This module supplies features similar as wcwidth(3) and wcswidth(3) in C language. It computes numbuer of columns occupied on the terminal by a text string, which is not always equal to its number of characters and depends on the encoding used. Parameters are to be given in locale encoding, not always in UTF-8. This perl module is needed by Text::WrapI18N.
