none found in the UI and Term:: sections of search.cpan.org
rationale:
Curses::Visterm is a "visual" (split-screen) terminal interface.
The term "visual" has been used to describe display-oriented
interfaces at least as far back as the invention of vi. TinyFugue
has described its split-terminal mode as "visual" for several years.

Curses::Visterm provides a split-terminal interface modeled after
console based IRC and MUD clients. It uses Curses to manage all
aspects of the terminal, including horizonatal and vertical
scrolling regions.
The interface has four sections. There is a title bar across the
top of the terminal, a large vertically scrolling (forward and
backward) region where program output is displayed, an input bar
across the bottom of the display (which scrolls horizontally to
accomodate large input and can be edited using common shell
keybindings), and a status bar that separates the output and input
areas with a display of common "dashboard" indicators.
Visterm uses a portable, event driven framework (POE) for
concurrency. It can simultaneously monitor socket and console input
while updating dashboard indicators through a system of multiple
independent timers.
The project is managed at SourceForge. Various support resources
are available there. Please see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/visterm/ for more information.
