I'd like to write a perl script to do very simple bitmap editing.  The part
I can't figure out is how to write text into the terminal at any x,y point.
Is this possible?

e.g. how can I write an "*" at 10 columns over, 5 rows down in the current
terminal?

The Curses module is probably a good starting point. It gives you control over the terminal displays.

Curses!  Foiled again!
