in reply to Curses Help

Not sure if you're wanting to use Curses.pm directly, or use another module on top of curses; I've done both. If you're wanting to use Curses.pm directly, I'd still suggest looking at some of the related modules on CPAN (i.e., Curses::Forms, Curses::Widgets, and perlmenu). Even in instances when I'm not using any of those modules, I often find that I can lean much about Curses by looking at how the other authors have implemented/solved things.

    Actually, I found those modules last night. *Very* nice, high level interface to widgets. I think it's going to let me accomplish what I need. I havn't had a chance to pick at the module yet but it should contain all I really need to know about Curses at this point.

    One question (since you're familure):
    Is there a way to use the bind method to capture arrow keys? That would allow a context box for list_box's that could display based on the selected field. I tried KEY_UP, etc. but it behaved as I feared it would (K, E, Y, _, U, P where assigned as the bound keys).
    If I added the regex when adding the widget to the forms, it didn't seem to pass the reference to the object state as Mod_Own does.
