I am attempting to use the Curses module for the first time, and really
have no idea how to use it. Every example I've been able to find uses a
variety of different keywords, but I haven't been able to locate any
documentation of the available routines. If someone could help get me
started, I'd appreciate it.
What I'm trying to do is tail a log file (using File::Tail), parse the
incoming data, and present it in an auto-refreshing display (and allow
keystrokes to dictate what exact data is displayed). I want the script
to run infinitely, until it is explicitly ended (via cntl-c or specified
keystroke). I have the back-end processing done (the tail stuff), but
I'm completely confused on how to use Curses to accomplish what I'm
after.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Jason
