[Chicago-talk] Willing to pay $$ for help. how hack a perl module?

[Richard Reina]

I began to try to do so but I can't figure out where in the pm to do it. So far understanding how the module works is over my head. Also, I'm beginning to think that color -- via ANSI::Color or some other method is already incorporated into Cmenu because certain text in the sample menus have color. It probably just a matter of altering the code in Cmenu.pm so that the text in the choices submitted can be displayed in color, but I have not been able to figure it out. My offer still stands if the price is reasonable I can pay. Also, I might also be able to finagle some Cubs tickets to an upcoming game if someone wants to barter.
