Hi Damian,
I found an issue when I am trying to select an option from the numbered or alphabetic menu. When i select out of range value, code is skipped for the next line, without doing any validation. This occurred on Ubuntu 11.10.
here are the details
perl -v
This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for i686-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int
(with 48 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

Linux tanmayee-desktop 3.0.0-30-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 2 22:39:01 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Prompter;
my $selection
= prompt 'Choose wisely...', -menu => {
wealth => [ 'moderate', 'vast', 'incalculable' ],
health => [ 'hale', 'hearty', 'rude' ],
wisdom => [ 'cosmic', 'folk' ],
}, '>';
Please let me know if this is really a bug in Ubuntu or Perl module.
