Probably not as cool as all the others, but it is simmilar. Just an idea for you. I made a couple of menu scripts for work stuff.. All I know is it works just the same.. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
use strict;
my $read;
sub menu {
    print "1) Cancel FINAL Schedule for machine A\n";
    print "2) Submit new FINAL schedule\n";
    print "3) Ignore Wrkld\n";
    print "4) Run around the block\n";
    print "5) Buy a new car\n";
    print "6) order Pizza\n";
    print "7) exit\n";
}
for (;;) {
    &menu;
    chomp($read = <STDIN>);
    exit 0 if $read=~ /7/;
    print "You have chosen option $read\n";
    print "Enter a number for the option you want\n";
}
