Oops. Sorry, I had removed a couple of critical parts when I was using
the  script to test a couple of things. Here's the correct version
which works as advertised. Thanks for the feedback.

#! /usr/bin/perl -i.bak

# Edit a file so that long lines are wrapped. By default the wrapping
# occurs at column (ie character) 74, but can be set to N by using the
# -c N command line argument.

use Getopt::Std;
use Text::Wrap;

if ( getopts('c:') ) {
  $col = $opt_c;
  $col = 74 unless ($col);
  $Text::Wrap::columns = $col;

  while(<>) {
    $line = $line . $_
  }
  open(OUTFL, ">$ARGV");
  print OUTFL wrap("\n","",$line);
}
else {
  print "Usage: $0 [-c wrapcol] file.\n";
}
