Its a menuing application that is in perl and uses tput calls to put stuff onto the screen. Most of the tput functions (get arrow key, reverse/bold print, position cursor etc..) don't work on FreeBSD. Does anyone have any insight into what is wrong? I really want to bring these servers up under FreeBSD but I can't take the time to rebuild all these menus on another application. I really want to get off Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated (and put freebsd into another ISP).
