I haven't tested it on Win32, but I believe it works there as well: Term::Visual. It provides a split-screen visual terminal as a POE component, making it easy to integrate into a nethack-like application.
Please let me know if try it with any success on Win32.

Term::Visual is great, but it probably doesn't work with ActivePerl. Not only does it use Curses, but it attempts to select() on STDIN. Four-argument select() only works on sockets in ActivePerl.
You may get more mileage out of Cygwin, however. I have heard it can select() on things other than sockets.

Does that really work in DOS (presumably means Win32 console), an explicit requirement? Also, the CPAN test results are not too encouraging: 1.06 (11 FAILs, 3 PASSes, 8 UNKNOWNs). I didn't delve into the severity of the failures. Win32 wasn't even attempted.

Depends on curses library, which are not fully ported.
console programming done using assembler, hard to reference
and low interest.

Text::JavE is a sort of ASCII movie making called jMOV done in JavE. You could also install JavE (that works in multiplatform JAVA with a stdrd.JRE) from here: http://www.jave.de/. A very good alternative to follow the ASCII art tradition without working too hard. I haven't tried the PM, yet, though.
