SEE ALSO
Text::Elide is also quite simple and elides at word boundaries, but it's
not tiny enough.
Text::Truncate is tiny enough, but does not support truncating at the
left/both ends.
String::Elide::Parts can elide at different points of the string.
String::Truncate has similar interface like String::Elide::Parts and has
some options. But it's not tiny: it has a couple of non-core
dependencies.
String::Elide::Lines is based on this module but works on a line-basis.
