aristotle73 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I haven't been able to find any tutorials that cover creating command line-like interfaces and menus in perl (the kind that looks like ncurses' apps). Does anyone know of any tutorials for designing user interfaces in perl?

    The O'Reilly book Programming with Curses covers the C curses API. The Perl Curses module mirrors that, so it's quite useful for programming Perl curses apps as well. The book includes some introductory chapters on Curses GUI concepts and how the API is set up. My only experience writing Curses apps is with Perl, and I found the book quite useful for that purpose.
      I looked at the URL you posted and I just see a bunch of curses modules. How do I know which module I will need? Thx :D
