Line length does seem to be the problem. When I insert carriage returns
to split long lines into two, the resulting file prints OK. Obviously,
'Dynamic Word Wrap' applies only to the screen display. Syntax
highlighting on/off makes no difference, either.

When I printed to file, pdf, Okular displayed the file on screen very
nicely, but also could not print it out. Print preview just showed the
right hand ends of a few lines.

My reason for wanting to print out this script is to aid my learning of
perl. Sometimes I prefer to look at a printout that I can draw lines on,
doodle my thoughts etc.
