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

hi,
i was thinking to wrap a script with a text-console window-based app .... u use Curses for doing this isn't it ?!
then my next questions is what exactly to use as I looked at CPAN there is :

Curses::UI and Curses::Widgets...
which one u will recomend me. why ?
It will not be a big script just a frontend for user-add-like script...
So simplicity of usage is advantage ..
thanx in advance

    I've only used Curses, neither of the modules you mention, but Curses::UI seems to be a complete solution, and Curses::Widgets looks like a bunch of individual add on stuff. If this is your first Curses project, and you want something simple, it seems you'd probably be better off using Curses::UI. It might have the added advantage of preventing you from spending weeks adding more useless-but-neat-looking bells and whistles.
