I am having a bit of trouble creating panels with Curses.Could anyone here enlighten me by showing how things are properly done with examples?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Curses;


{
    my ($row, $column);
    initscr();
    getmaxyx(stdscr,$row, $column);    
    cbreak();
    #clear();
    my $win = newwin($row, int($column/3), 0, 0);
    my $win1 = newwin($row, int($column/3), 0, int($column/3)-5);
    my $win2 = newwin($row, int($column/3), 0, int($column/3)*2-10);
    $win->box(0,0);
    $win1->box(0,0);
    $win2->box(0,0);
    
    $win->addstr(0,(int($column/3)-length("Main"))/2,"Main");
    $win1->addstr(0,(int($column/3)-length("Status"))/2,"Status");
    $win2->addstr(0,(int($column/3)-length("Help"))/2,"Help");
    
    my $panel = $win->new_panel;
    my $panel1= $win1->new_panel;
    my $panel2 = $win2->new_panel;
    
    update_panels();
    doupdate();
    
    $win->refresh; 
    $win1->refresh; 
    $win2->refresh;
    $win->getch;
    #$win1->getch;
    #getch;
    endwin();
}
