I have a problem with using two conflicting CPAN modules which I don't know how to solve. Both of the modules in question make use of a select function and I'd really like to use them within the same subroutine.
Here's some code that demonstrates the problem 
use Shell::POSIX::Select qw($Heading $Prompt);
use Config::Crontab;

$modcron = 1;

if (defined($modcron)) {
   modifycron();
   exit;
}

sub modifycron {

  $Heading="\n            Pick an Option\n\n";
  $Prompt="Enter selection: ";

   select ('Display','Activate') {
     if ( $Reply == 1 ) {
        $ct = new Config::Crontab; $ct->read; print $ct->dump;
     } elsif ($Reply == 2) {
      $ct = new Config::Crontab; $ct->read;
      $block = $ct->block($ct->select(-command_re => "key=");

   }
}

The test crontab looks like this 
#
# Host specific jobs
####################
#

#00 8 * * * $MYBIN/my_prog.pl; # key=my_prog
#00 9 * * * $MYBIN/my_prog2.pl; # key=my_prog2

Running this gives me
syntax error at ./test.pl line 151, near ");"
Missing right curly or square bracket at ./test.pl line 186, at end of
+ line
syntax error at ./test.pl line 186, at EOF
Execution of ./test.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

I'm trying to build a (ksh style select) menu around the crontab module
Can I make use of these two modules in the same script ?
If so how ?
Any help appreciated
