Curses::UI installation: ======================== You will need to have the Curses and Term::ReadKey packages installed before installing Curses::UI. I recommend compiling Curses against the ncurses library. The current version of Curses.pm (1.07) has a bug if compiled with Perl 5.8. Take a look to http://cpan.thiesenweb.de to get a patch. A new Version of Curses.pm is expected to be released soon. This package uses MakeMaker in a standard way to build its Makefile. In order to build it do the following: 1. Unpack the source into a directory 2. change the current directory to the source directory 3. run "perl Makefile.PL" 4. run "make" 5. run "make test" or "make test INTERACTIVE_TEST=1" if you want to test Curses::UI using an interactive program 6. run "make install" Example: $ gunzip Curses-UI-x.xx.tar.gz $ tar xf Curses-UI-x.xx.tar.gz $ cd Curses-UI-x.xx $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test INTERACTIVE_TEST=1 $ make install
