Question about Term::ANSIMenu

[Andreas von Rüden]

Hi all,

is there a way to let Term::ANSIMenu scroll a list of selectable items if it
is larger than the screen?

thanks for any information

I can't speak for Term::ANSIMenu, but Term::Clui handles this not by
scrolling but by aksing the user for a substring clue; as soon as the
search is narrow enough for the remaining options to fit on the screen
then the choice is presented as usual.

See [url]http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/clui.html[/url] and examples/test_script
for how this works ...

Thank you for the hint, but asking for a substring clue is not wanted in
this case, because all items should be readable at (almost) the same time,
so scrolling would be perfect.
