Re: textual GUI using only part of the terminal -- 3 options

hello morgon,

you are probably looking for Term::Visual from the docs:

split-terminal user interface.

Term::Visual is a "visual" terminal interface for curses applications. It provides the split-screen interface you may have seen in console based IRC and MUD clients.

I never used it but it seems very close to your needs: do not expect zooming features anyway.

Another viable option can be Curses::UI look at the picture in an external website.

Also Term::Cap can be used to have the screen partitioned: see Pure Perl Split Screen for an example by blindluke.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

Unfortunately neither of these modules does what I want - at least I cannot see it. Both take over the whole terminal screen estate while I am looking for a way to have the GUI use only part of it. But never mind - it's not something I need, I am only curious as to whether it would be possible at all.	[reply]
