I have scoured the internet and even tried to send an email to the Curses::UI maintainer - but the email in CPAN is a dud. can anyone tell me from this documentation how i can create the color Orange (255,165,0): http://search.cpan.org/~mdxi/Curses-UI-0.9609/lib/Curses/UI/Color.pm I have tried like 50 different ways.

$cui->define_color('orange',255,155,0);



It's not a function, its not a method from the $cui (mainwindow) object, its not a method of the label object or anything like that, so i am confused by the poor documentation. Also Perl applications that use Curses::UI die without any errors or warnings ??? Thanks, return 0;

ADDITIONAL INFO: the author has put the code: -default-colors => BOOLEAN on the CPAN page also, which is broken and I think he/she meant: -default_colors=>BOOLEAN adding a new hyphen will break the code. Also they wrote: "Creates a new Curses::UI::Color object" and used the terms "method" AND "function" for define_color LOL this is very confusing!! I tried this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $colorobj = new Curses::UI::Color;
my @colors = $colorobj->get_colors();
print $_ foreach (@colors);
exit;

which also did nothing. ??

UPDATE: Tried to contact author and maintainer of Curses::UI neither of which responded. After hours of testing and research, I have given up. This method define_color() does not work. I can add a color to the colors() array with it, but it ( the RGB value of the added color ) is NULL each time. marking as "unresolved."
