+---------- [vshnu] Simple installation problem. ----------
| However, it starts complaining about:
| "Can't find a valid termcap file at /home/karltk/libp/Term/Screen.pm line 230"
| My temporary solution was to fetch
| http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/terminfo/termtypes.tc.gz
| and install it as ~/.termcap.

Thanks for pointing this out. I've added the following to vshnu's
installation instructions, "Prerequisites" section:

Term::Screen uses Term::Cap, so you'll need a termcap file containing
your terminals' capabilities definitions. Most systems already
have one, but if yours doesn't, a very complete termcap file is
available at <http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/terminfo/termtypes.tc.gz>.
A much briefer one containing only some common terminals is
at <http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~kinzler/home.html#etc/termcap>.
The termcap file may be installed as $TERMCAP, $HOME/.termcap,
/etc/termcap or /usr/share/misc/termcap.
