Since you're using command line, I'd like to suggest a TUI interface...Curses Dev Kit. It's got a curses file-select widget.

If you want to test it out, I suggest getting the cdk and the cdk-perl tarballs from the site link above and do not use the CPAN version, which is out of date. This does require that you have ncurses installed as well.

HTH.
