- PerlVision is a Perl 5 class library that enables you to implement an
- attractive and versatile text-mode interface for your application
- programs on Unix. It contains support for most common input elements
- as well as for dialog boxes with arbitrary combinations of input
- elements.
-
- To use PerlVision you will need at least Perl 5.000, available from
- ftp.netlabs.com and prep.ai.mit.edu, among other sites.
-
- The perlvision-0.1.0.tgz file should contain:
-
- pvbasic.pl - Basic primitives for ANSI screen control, etc.
- pvbasic_u.pl - 'Unoptimized' pvbasic.pl (faster on console)
- perlvision.pl - The class library
- perlvision.doc - Documentation for the library
- rap - (rap ain't pico) A simple text editor as an example
- of using PerlVision.
- COPYING - The GPL - terms and conditions under which rap (but
- not the rest of PerlVision) is distributed
- README - This file
- IAFA-PACKAGE - The IETF FTP Archives Working Group standard format
- description of PerlVision.
-
- PerlVision is not public domain or copylefted software. You may make
- use of it for free as long as the resulting programs are not to be
- used for any commercial purpose. _Any_ commercial use of PerlVision
- requires my prior consent. If you aren't sure whether a certain use is
- 'commercial' on 'non-commercial', assume it is commercial and mail me.
-
- If you just want to use RAP, put pvbasic.pl and perlvision.pl in your
- Perl lib directory, typically /usr/lib/perl5 or /usr/local/lib/perl5,
- put RAP in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin, change the first line in RAP to
- point to where your Perl5 binary is installed, and you're all set. RAP
- _is_ copylefted software.
