   Hi out there in netland. I'd like to write a small file-browser or so in perl
   (because of the easier access) and make the screen i/o use curses for
   user-friendliness. How to combine perl with curses? I have an idea about
   using perl-libraries and syscall, but I'm not sure at all how to do it.
   Any hints welcome.

The 'jinx' database package has a curses interface.

<README>
How to get it:

  Jinx, a (postscript) jinx tutorial, and cterm are ftp'able from
  sol.cs.ruu.nl (131.211.80.5). Look in directory 'pub/UNIX' for the files
  'jinx.shar.Z', 'jinx.ps.Z', and 'cterm.shar.Z'.
  If you don't have access to ftp, send a message to 'mail-server@cs.ruu.nl'
  containing the next 4 lines:
  send cterm.shar
  send jinx.shar
  send jinx.ps
  end
  The compressed, uuencoded stuff will be sent to you.

Bugs, remarks, etc:

  Send bugs and other remarks to 'henkp@cs.ruu.nl'.
