Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

is there any way to implement in perl a method of displaying lines so that a line can be replaced on the screen (lets say in the middle of a bunch of other lines) without reprinting all the lines. like updating lines on the screen without clearing the terminal and printing the new data again? i have heard 'curses' does this but i am not sure. can you enlighten me?
