Didn't find any around, so necessity +became the mother of PerlVision. And this beast kept growing as I made +love to Perl, so now it's far from 'basic'. Provides 90% of the +features you'd want for a user interface, including checkboxes, +radiobuttons, three different styles (!) of pushbuttons, single and +multiple selection listboxes, an extensible editbox that does +autowrapping, a scrollable viewbox, single line text entry fields, a +menubar with pulldown menus, and full popup dialog boxes with multiple +controls. + +This version of PerlVision uses Will Setzer's Curses.pm dynaload +module for Perl, so you need to get and compile that first, from +ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/math/wsetzer/cursperl<whatever>. + +PerlVision will only work with Perl 5+ of-course (upgrade || die()!). |
