Dear Jason, The Curses module is a wrapper around the curses library. Why not use the examples (use google) in C and documentation provided with the curses library.
man ncurses # Depends on version of curses you have With the C examples, try turning them in to the equivilent Perl versions. I have never worked with curses, but I would start in a similar way. I think learning curses will require a significant investment in time (like 20+ hours). OTOH, I would consider writing a perl/Tk application instead of a curses based console application. Plenty of documentation for Tk, and might be more useful to other projects.
