There are mainly two ideas, it doesn't seem I'll have the time..
Both imho good, but.

Write a script to get completely selfbundled perl scripts.
I do know par packer, and so on, but I think about having the perl interpreter installed at the target,
and just put the script with all used modules included at the target.
Yet I copied all used modules by hand into one file, what is .. tedious :(

The other one, a text user interface library. Which is usable, and portable.
Curses is incoherent, quite often the different curses interfaces are missing something, and so on.
Perhaps starting with a really simple C interface, like tbox.
Having all other things implemented in perl, in an object oriented manner.
The things out there I found are either not finished, or not that nice to use.
Would be wonderful, but I'm faced with other problems, so..
