[Buffalo-pm] X-Term Interface Application...

[Jim Brandt]

Depending on how involved you want to get, you could look into Curses. 
Curses is the old-style user interface design tool that produces 
terminal-based applications like the email-reader pine.

Of course, there are several Perl modules providing hooks into the 
native curses stuff on your system. Go to the search.cpan.org home page 
and click User Interfaces. You'll see Curses on the results page.

You could also go one page further by clicking on the 'Term' link at 
the top of the User Interfaces page. There are a ton of modules there 
also.
