Hi Mjpaddy,
..which can make a sentence into two equal part or half or partially half
Others have answered you well, but what got my attention was the two equal part or half "wordings", in your question. Though I might be wrong, in the sense that the OP's example might have shown what s/he might want.
But that being said, IMHO, one can get the sentence into two equals, considering all the character in the sentence space in inclusive, like so:
use warnings;
use strict;
my $wd =
'Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich programming language with ov
+er 27 years of development.';
my $midpt = ( split //, $wd ) / 2 ;
print join(
$/ => (
"First-Half:", substr( $wd, 0, $midpt ),
"Second-Half:", substr( $wd, $midpt )
)
), $/;
Output:
First-Half:
Perl 5 is a highly capable, feature-rich program
Second-Half:
ming language with over 27 years of development.
If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
