Note $: or $FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS is set of characters on which to break when processing filled continuation lines (caret ^ format)

Related is $/ or $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR or $RS (defaults to newline) which is very useful when processing HTML where newlines are irrelevant and you set $/ to say < or > to scan to next tag or end of tag and ignore newlines
