in reply to Portable Terminal Animation

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.
