Curses is not in standard delivery perl...therefore anyone using his/her script would need to download the module. Is there any Curses or similar interface available that doesn't require additional modules?....or should we use ANSI escape codes, readline,etc. to have a nice text based interface without requiring extra modules? | [reply] |

Why restrict yourself to only using the modules that come with Perl? What do you gain by doing this? CPAN modules are extraordinarily easy to install already and the ongoing work on Module::Build, Module::Install, PAR and the like will only make it even better. If the code is free, readily available and offers numerous advantages then why on earth would you not use it?
