 the posibliity of replacing clipper 5 with perl+mysql+curse.

I really suggest you look at perl+postgresql+ncurses

PostgreSQL is, at least, a true SQL database.  It has transaction support
and is ACID compliant.  MySQL is nothing more than a file system that uses
SQL queries.  Sure, it's fast, but it won't protect your data like a real
SQL database will.

Are you a competent perl programmer?

Have you ever done any curses programming?

no. I knew xBase (notably Clipper and Foxpro) from the bottom up.

a bit. but using C. It's a distributed banking system prototype in a 
post-graduate computer course (which I didn't complete).
