Perl Command Line Menu

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

I currently have 40+ scripts that I am trying to consolidate into a command line menu system (often accessed through putty/securecrt). I am using perl+curses right now to accomplish this task, but am not liking the fact that I cannot mix menu types (input with radio buttons, etc). I'm just wondering, what is a good module to use if creating CLI menus? I guess if I have to use curses, which is fine, how would I do the following:

Allow person to highlight options below, hit enter, then enter input...
USER: (input item)
FULL NAME: (input item)
NEW USER: (radio button)
etc.

I've never used it, but Term:ANSIMenu might do something similar. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

No idea, but NEW USER sounds like a checkbox rather than a radio button.	[reply]
