interactive perl programing

| I'm stumped on where to look but there must be a module to handle
interactive programming. What I mean is printing out a list of things,
the user selects what he wants, hits enter and the program continues. I
presume the module would enable going back to change things and handle
multipage input.
Have I missed something basic to perl programming? I've perused the
camel books but I tend to learn by doing and at this stage may have
skimmed over it

You are asking this question on a CGI list, do you mean interactive at a
shell or over the web?
To remain on topic, I will assume the latter, in general Perl is used in
a CGI context which usually means that there is a stateless session such
that an "interactive" (or continually running process across multiple
HTTP pages) doesn't really exist. There are a number of ways around
this hinderance, but none of which truly provide a stateful, interactive
feel.
So what do you really mean?
