Question

I need to use NCurses, with Perl. I found some very short bits of text about it but no example at all.

Is there anyone aware of any existing guide online?

Thanks!

The examples from tldp.org are:

Also, from http://www.perl.com/doc/FAQs/FAQ/oldfaq-html/Q3.8.html:

For a good example of using curses
with Perl, you might want to pick up a
copy of Steven L Kunz’s* perl
menus'' package (menu.pl”) via
anonymous FTP from
“ftp.iastate.edu”. It’s in the
directory /pub/perl as:
menu.pl.v3.1.tar.Z

Another possibility is to use Henk
Penning’s cterm package, a curses
emulation library written in perl.
cterm is actually a separate program
with which you communicate via a pipe.
It is available from http://ftp.cs.ruu.nl
[131.211.80.17] via anonymous ftp. in
the directory pub/PERL.
