INTRO
|
||
|
|
=====
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I needed a basic text-mode GUI framework to implement some
|
||
|
|
nice-looking proggies on Linux. 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()!).
