Welcome to the Newt library Description Newt is a perl library built on top of Red Hat's newt C library for text screen widgets. It allows a perl programer to build simple but effective text-mode user interfaces with little effort. It is very usable because it has complete support for all widgets found in newt 0.30, and provides a nice abstraction over the C interface. Documentation is mostly complete, but I'm sure its perfectible. To do Well, correct any bugs, of course, but I'm mostly concern by the fact that AutoSplit won't split Newt.pm in perl versions below 5.002. If you can help me to fix this, I'll be grateful. Copyright This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. Prerequisites You need perl 5.002_02 in order to compile this, and just because old AutoSplit modules will reject the use of multiple packages in one module. Perhaps I should fix this to work on older perls, don't know. You also need a correctly installed slang library version 0.99, and a popt library 1.1.x to compile this software. There are rpms for this in your favorite repository. How to install Unpack your distribution on some directory, then cd to it and issue the following commands: $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install Help wanted! If you have any ideas, patches or anything, please send them to me (amedina@msg.com.mx).
