Hi All.

I am using Perl5.12 under Lion. I am finding that I cannot install term::screen or Cursres. I get a pile of compiling errors.

So what modules should I use to clear the screen in Perl under MAC Lion?

On this topic. I am trying to build a menu. I was wondering how difficult is it to create a very simple GUI interface? Can you access the Xcode libraries do do this?

I am fairly new to Perl and want to expand my knowledge/skill. I have created a very simple database. The interface has up to 4 levels of menus. Such as:

Main menu
|
-- Insert records
|
|
|- transaction menu -- select month -- display result.
|
|
|-- budget report menu -- display result
|
|
|-- create and update categories.
|
|
exit

My current menu is very basic. Any tips on making this a GUI or better Text menu I would be greatful. The biggest challenge is that I have to make it accessible for the user who is going to use the program. They are blind and use voice-over. They cannot use other MAC accounting apps because they are not acccessible.

Cheers
Sean
