## DESCRIPTION

This class models a text area, where users can type text.

## INTERFACE

The interface is the same as the one described in CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input, with the following additional attributes:

- "columns"

  Amount of displayed columns.

- "rows"

  Amount of displayed text rows.

- "wrap\_mode"

  The selected work wrapping mode.

## BUGS

Does not handle `"wrap_mode"` and `"columns"` yet.  There is actually some work done by the browser when the wrapping mode is set to `"hard"`, which alters the value transmitted back to the script upon submit.

## AUTHORS

The original author is Raphael Manfredi.

Steven Hilton was long time maintainer of this module.

Current maintainer is Alexander Tokarev *\<tokarev@cpan.org\>*.
