Subject: Text Table should be able to wrap the contents of large table cells
If i have a table cell with a large paragraph it just seems to wrap on my terminal underneath other cells. It would be nice if Text::Table could use other cpan modules to add a wraping feature. It would be up to the user to speicfy the max table width. Without this feature text table is useful only for tables with small cells.

Hi, I'm the author of Text::Table. It is true, Text::Table allows only a single data line in each cell. Multiline data is only supported in title fields. This was a design decision early in the project and is hard to reverse. The feature you want is unlikely to appear anytime soon. Regards, Anno
