POE::Wheel::Curses - non-blocking input for Curses

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Curses;
  use POE qw(Wheel::Curses);

  POE::Session->create(
    inline_states => {
      _start => sub {
        $_[HEAP]{console} = POE::Wheel::Curses->new(
          InputEvent => 'got_keystroke',
        );
      },
      got_keystroke => sub {
        my $keystroke = $_[ARG0];

        # Make control and extended keystrokes printable.
        if ($keystroke lt ' ') {
          $keystroke = '<' . uc(unctrl($keystroke)) . '>';
        }
        elsif ($keystroke =~ /^\d{2,}$/) {
          $keystroke = '<' . uc(keyname($keystroke)) . '>';
        }

        # Just display it.
        addstr($keystroke);

        # Gotta exit somehow.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

POE::Wheel::Curses implements non-blocking input for Curses programs.

POE::Wheel::Curses will emit an "InputEvent" of your choosing whenever
an input event is registered on a recognized input device (keyboard
and sometimes mouse, depending on the curses library).  Meanwhile,
applications can be doing other things like monitoring network
connections or child processes, or managing timers and stuff.

=head1 PUBLIC METHODS

POE::Wheel::Curses is rather simple.

=head2 new

new() creates a new POE::Wheel::Curses object.  During construction,
the wheel registers an input watcher for STDIN (via select_read()) and
registers an internal handler to preprocess keystrokes.

new() accepts only one parameter C<InputEvent>.  C<InputEvent>
contains the name of the event that the wheel will emit whenever there
is input on the console or terminal.  As with all wheels, the event
will be sent to the session that was active when the wheel was
constructed.

It should be noted that an application may only have one active
POE::Wheel::Curses object.

=head1 EVENTS AND PARAMETERS

These are the events sent by POE::Wheel::Curses.

=head2 InputEvent

C<InputEvent> defines the event that will be emitted when
POE::Wheel::Curses detects and reads console input.  This event
includes two parameters:

C<$_[ARG0]> contains the raw keystroke as received by Curses::getch().
An application may process the keystroke using Curses::unctrl() and
Curses::keyname() on the keystroke.

C<$_[ARG1]> contains the POE::Wheel::Curses object's ID.

Mouse events aren't portable.  As of October 2009, it's up to the
application to decide whether to call mousemask().

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Curses> documents what can be done with Curses.  Also see the man
page for whichever version of libcurses happens to be installed
(curses, ncurses, etc.).

L<POE::Wheel> describes wheels in general.

The SEE ALSO section in L<POE> contains a table of contents covering
the entire POE distribution.

=head1 BUGS

None known, although curses implementations vary widely.
