use Curses::UI; my $cui = new Curses::UI; my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');

# The hard way. # ------------- my $dialog = $win->add( 'mydialog', 'Dialog::Basic', -message => 'Hello, world!' ); $dialog->focus; $win->delete('mydialog');

# The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation). # -------------------------------------------- my $buttonvalue = $cui->dialog(-message => 'Hello, world!');

# or even $cui->dialog('Hello, world!');

Curses::UI::Dialog::Basic is a basic dialog. This type of dialog has a message on it and one or more buttons. It can be used to show a message to the user of your program (\*(L"The thingy has been updated\*(R") or to get some kind of confirmation from the user (\*(L"Are you sure you want to update the thingy?\*(R").
