NAME

Term::Menu::Hierarchical - Perl extension for creating hierarchical menus

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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 that 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.

Bug reports as well as results of tests on OSes other than Linux are always eagerly welcomed.
