I am not sure if this is in the right spot on the forum. Since I am not trying to program anything I am trying to run an application that my friend wrote. The issue is that the program needs curses.pm to start. Is this something that OS X doesn't have out of the box? It is UNIX based and has perl installed but I still get this error when trying to start the app.

Code:
Can't locate Curses.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.8 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.8 /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at ./yfk line 26.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./yfk line 26.

This could be something in the application, and I am waiting for my friend to get to Munic so he will be back online, but I seem to recall having a similar error on a Linux install once and was easily able to fix it by obtaining curses.pm but I have no clue how to go about finding this for Mac and getting it put in the right directory so it will work correctly.

Any thoughts?
