Have a look at some of the Curses libraries.

There are others available but start with:

Curses - terminal screen handling and optimization
http://search.cpan.org/~giraffed/Curses-1.28/Curses.pm

Curses::UI::Color - Color support module
http://search.cpan.org/~mdxi/Curses-UI-0.9607/lib/Curses/UI/Color.pm

and scroll through these:
