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. PerlVision will only work with Perl 5+ of-course (upgrade || die()!).
