Hello.

I've created a simple log viewer using Cursess::UI::POE and POE::Wheel::FollowTail:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
use strict;
use Curses::UI::POE;
use POE::Wheel::FollowTail;
use constant MAX_LINES=>30;

my $cui = new Curses::UI::POE -clear_on_exit=>1,-color_support=>1, inl
+ine_states => {
  _start => sub {
    $_[HEAP]{follower}=POE::Wheel::FollowTail->new(Filename=>'/var/log
+/messages',InputEvent=>'new_line',SeekBack=>8192);
    ($_[HEAP]{tview}=$_[HEAP]->add('win1','Window')->add('text','TextV
+iewer',-wrapping=>1,-width=>-1,-height=>-1))->focus;
    $_[HEAP]->set_binding(\&exit,"q");
    $_[HEAP]{lines}=[];
  },

  new_line=>sub {
    unshift @{$_[HEAP]{lines}}, $_[ARG0];
    @{$_[HEAP]{lines}}>MAX_LINES && pop @{$_[HEAP]{lines}};

    $_[HEAP]{tview}->text(join("\n", @{$_[HEAP]{lines}}));
    $_[HEAP]{tview}->draw; # btw, is this correct or i should use some
+ other method?
  }
};

$cui->mainloop

It works ok, but i would like to get colorization. Thats the place where i've got stuck :(

The problem is i can't find a way to colorize output of Curses::UI::TextViewer. Is it possible at least? Or are there any better options?

Thank you for your answers.
