Text GUI with Perl

[Thorsten Gottschalk]

Hi all,

I search a module for doing easy text dialogs with perl.
I tried to find something in CPAN, but I only find curses or something similar.
But curses is to complex for that I want to do.
I only need very basic dialoges like that tool dialog under Linux can provide.
Is there an interface or module for that?

Remeber I need no colors, no mouse, only text.

Thanks.

Bye
Thorsten

Tk:ialog

Maybe I'm stupid, but which part of Perl/Tk is text-based as the OP specified
was what he needed more than once?

Thanks Kevin, this is also my question?
I know TK. But so far I understand TK, this is a full window widget
with support of graphic and mouse.
And this is NOT what I need.
I only need a rudimentary text menu or grafik, because the script will be
executed over serial terminal or ssh/telnet. So no X windows support.
Please give me any help.

Thanks

Bye
Thorsten

I quick CPAN search for "prompt" turned up the module Term:rompt, which may
have some promise for you. The URL is:

http://search.cpan.org/~persicom/Term-Prompt-1.01/lib/Term/Prompt.pm

Additionally, I browsed the the search results for "term" and found
Term::Interact here:

http://search.cpan.org/~prl/Term-Interact-0.44/Interact.pm

Hope these help...

UI:ialog is an interface to the many variants of 'dialog' that are
available, including [xkg]dialog as well as the original console-based
program.

Curses::UI is a module built on top of Curses which lets you create
simple dialogs.

Maybe I read this wrong, but I assumed the OP was wanting a module to use
because he didn't have dialog. I could very well be wrong, but that is why I
did not mention UI:ialog.
