I have a program called perlmenu which uses the cursesperl program to
make some great menus. Unfortunately, BSD/386 1.1 does not come with
the cursesperl program... just perl. And trying to compile a copy of
cursesperl? Oh boy... I'm sure you know how THAT story goes.

If you find someone with a good menuing program, let me know. Or if
someone out there knows how to get cursesperl compiled, please respond.
BSDI isn't much help when it comes to questions like "Why won't ____
compile." Even if you fill in the blank with the word "anything".
