See App::Cme/https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-Cme/bin/cme - Check or edit configuration data with Config::Model You can edit using already created GUIs like tk: provides a Tk graphical interface (If Config::Model::TkUI is installed). curses: provides a curses user interface (If Config::Model::CursesUI is installed). shell: provides a shell like interface. See Config::Model::TermUI for details. All you have to do is create a "model", see https://metacpan.org/pod/Config::Model#Beginners Config::Model::Manual::ModelCreationIntroduction - Introduction to model creation with Config::Model	[reply]

I think you meant https://st.aticpan.org/source/DDUMONT/App-Cme-1.016/bin/cme Edit: One may be interested in the module author's blog entry: https://ddumont.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/generate-a-configuration-editor-from-a-config-template-file-with-perl-lcdproc-example/	[reply]

I think you meant... Nope, used `mod://` when I wanted href:// as in https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-Cme/bin/cme	[reply] [d/l]

UPDATE - it seems that NCurses were not yet ported on Windows, so I am probably out of luck, and this question is therefore answered. Sorry for cluttering this forum. Jan	[reply]

Tk does work on Windows, last I checked (ca. 2002), though.	[reply]

You should consider using Dancer or Mojo. They even work on low quality OS's like Windows, much to the chagrin of Microsoft who put their eggs in the broadband basket and have never caught up.	[reply]

Thanks for the tip, however this seems to be a a bit of a stretch on a data warehousing project :)	[reply]

I suppose this won't help: https://github.com/azawawi/perl6-ncurses entitled GitHub - azawawi/perl6-ncurses: Perl 6 interface to NCurses library Edit: Then, there is this: http://www.slideshare.net/dkrotkine/cursestoolkit entitled Curses::Toolkit Quote: Curses::Toolkit is a Perl module to build ncurses based applications. https://github.com/dams/curses-toolkit Edit: http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ Quote: MinGW Port Beginning with ncurses 5.8, ncurses has been ported to Win32 console using MinGW. I have built it both on Windows7 as well as via cross-compiling from FreeBSD, Fedora and Debian. From the latter, I make occasional builds which you may find useful: 32-bit 64-bit Edit: https://metacpan.org/pod/Win32::Console Quote: Those functions should also make possible a port of the Unix's curses library; if there is anyone interested (and/or willing to contribute) to this project, e-mail me. Thank you. Edit: http://pdcurses.sourceforge.net/ entitled Public Domain Curses Quote: PDCurses is a public domain curses library for ...
