It doesn't install using cpan, and the directory structure seems messed up, so you have to download it and install it "by hand" (make / make install doesn't work either) from the tar file instead.

I saw a couple of other choices: Text::FIGlet and banner from ppt. I probably should have chose one of them. I don't have CPAN.pm capability at work, so I copy/pasted (I will beg forgiveness later). If you have any luck with the other options, feel free to create a suitable replacement input routine that will make a level playing field and I will update the root node with a pointer here.
