I don't think having color-sequences should be mandatory for this kind of program. It would be better if the scripts were to take advantage of the extra module if it's there, but not require it. You've got other instances of similar behavior. For instance, the perl debugger will take advantage of a Readkey module to offer history and tab completion, but it will still work bare-bones if no Readkey is installed.
