Thanks John for providing me link. I believe, I will have to install
Curses as its not available in perl version I am using.

Maybe one way to get what you want is to install Ruby and borrow the curses.
I frankly don't know a curse from a gem or a rake, but since Ruby was
created using MVC++6, it might be better for windows stuff than the
equivalent from perl.

ActivePerl is build using MSVC6, and if the OP has MSVC (and Curses will
build under Windows at all) it will build perfectly well. Also, recent
versions of ActivePerl have some provision for using MinGW to build
modules that are compatible with perl.
