Term::Menu::Hierarchical - Perl extension for creating hierarchical menus
This module only exports a single method, 'menu', which takes an arbitrary-depth hashref as an argument. The keys at every level are used as menu entries; the values, whenever they're reached via the menu, are displayed in a pager. Many text files (e.g., recipe lists, phone books, etc.) are easily parsed and the result structured as a hashref; this module makes displaying this kind of content into a simple, self-contained process.
The module itself is pure Perl and has no system dependencies; however, terminal handling always involves a pact with the Devil and arcane rituals involving chicken entrails and moon-lit oak groves. Users are explicitly warned to beware.
Reports of any discovered bugs as well as results of tests on OSes other than Linux are always eagerly welcomed.
Features:
menu Takes a single argument, a hashref of arbitrary depth. See the included test scripts for further usage examples.
