DESCRIPTION

Easily center text in a configurable field width (default 79). Pad with spaces by default but may substitute some other character if desired. Will leave a single space on either side of the text unless the text is too large to fit into the field width. In that case, just returns the text unaltered.

Exports a single subroutine:

center( $text, $width = 79, :fill(' ') )

where

$text is the text to be centered.

$width (optional) is the field width to center within, default 79

:fill (optional) is the fill character to use, default ' ' (space)
