How can I use curses with Perl?

The Curses module from CPAN provides a dynamically loadable object module
interface to a curses library. A small demo can be found at the directory http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/Tom_Christiansen/scripts/rep; this
program repeats a command and updates the screen as needed, rendering rep
ps axu similar to top.
