I need some help. I've got a little Perl app meant to navigate through my ROM collection and launch the games in whatever emulator is appropriate for that game. I've been using it for years, but I now have a computer dedicated to my ROM collection and hooked up to my TV and would like very much to not have a keyboard and mouse hooked up to it.

My question is this: is there a way to navigate through a TK listbox using a joystick/gamepad? Ideally I'd like to be able to use one axis for each listbox and a button on the gamepad to trigger the function that lauches the game. This is the only obstacle left keeping me from doing away with the keyboard and mouse. I've looked at a couple joystick libraries but I haven't had any luck. If it makes a difference, this app is running on a Debian GNU/Linux box.
