FYI -- I was looking around for a higher level curses toolkit, and I've 
noticed a couple projects:

CDK - http://www.vexus.ca/products/CDK/
C based, comes with a perl api

CTK - http://www.du.edu/%7Emschwart/tclextensions.html#ctkTbl
TCL based

NetBSD's Sushi project, which lets you configure the system (conf 
files) via a console interface, uses CDK.
