Subject: allow to pass user-data to callbacks and timers
A possibility to add a user-definable user-data reference that will be passed to the callback or timer functions beside the ui object would be nice. This could be look like that: $ui->add_timer( 'update', \&update, 5, $foo ); where foo is the user-data that'll be passed to update() every time it's called. Regards, Florian

The Idea sounds interesting, but isn't that mostly what Event.pm would do. I don't know enough about the internals of Event, but if it works parallel to Curses::UI this should be no problem. If it is not, it would be a nice feature for Curses::UI
