Curses::Widgets Module for Perl

Author: Arthur Corliss
Date: December 5, 2001

Description

High level access to basic Curses widgets and related functions.

NOTE: This is **NOT** backwards compatible with the pre-1.99 versions. This is entirely OO-based, hence any older scripts relying on the old versions will need to be rewritten.

Also note that certain "widgets" are no longer available (i.e., the dialogs). Those are more properly forms, not widgets, and hence are available in the latest Curses::Forms release.

Requirements

--(n)Curses libraries
--Curses module

Instructions

All that one needs to do is:

        perl Makefile.pl
        make test
        make install

Documentation for using the module(s) is available if one types the following:

perldoc Curses::Widgets

There is also a tutorial for creating custom widgets, which can be accessed via:

perldoc Curses::Widgets::Tutorial
