Scrollbars in Curses::UI?

Muskovitz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

Is there a way to create a scrolling functionality in Curses::UI?
Stated here: Curses::UI::Widget#SCROLLBARS:

Since the user of a Curses::UI program has no real control over the so + called "scrollbars", they aren't really scrollbars. A better name wo +uld be something like "document location indicators". But since they +look so much like scrollbars I decided I could get away with this nam +ing convention.

So I did try, here's my code:
my $container = $win1->add( 'vulnerability', 'Container', -title => "List of Street Addr", -height => 50, -border => 1, -y => 1, -width => 60, -height => 20, -bfg => 'blue', -vscrollbar => "right", -vscrolllen => 20 );
I have really no control over the scrollbar, So if any of you knows how to get around this. Please enlighten me. Thanks.
