Text::Wrap dies on '=.'

[Dave Odell]

Here's a brief test case:
#!/usr/bin/perl
require Text::Wrap;
$Text::Wrap::columns = 2;
print "$Text::Wrap::VERSION $Text::Wrap::SUBVERSION\n";
print Text::Wrap::wrap('', '', '=.');

When I run on Trusty, I get:
$ ./wrapper.pl
2012.0818 modern
This shouldn't happen at /usr/share/perl/5.18/Text/Wrap.pm line 84.

FWIW, when I ran the same test program with the latest version of Wrap.pm from <http://api.metacpan.org/source/MUIR/Text-Tabs+Wrap-2013.0523/lib.modern/Text/Wrap.pm>, it worked a little better:
$ ./wrapper.pl
2013.0523 modern
=
.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the 2013/04/26 version (see https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/Text-Tabs+Wrap) fixes this, though I haven't verified that.
