To turn auto-wrap off:

print "\033[?7l"

to turn it on:

print "\033[?7h"

Do you have the ctlseqs.TXT document?  It's handy for this sort of
thing.

These are probably grossly xterm specific - AFAIK there's no
corresponding terminfo/termcap code (but my termcap & terminfo book
seems to have vanished into the depths of my room, so I'm not sure).

Cheers,
M.
