I looked a little at this software. olive depends on libcurses-ui-perl. libcurses-ui-perl is currently 0.95-5 (latest on cpan - 10 Dec 2004). olive requires an extra patch for Curses/UI.pm. However you can find the patch on the author's GForge (8 months old). http://gforge.stud.inf.fh-bonn-rhein-sieg.de/scm/cvsweb.php/curses-ui/lib/Curses/?cvsroot=curses-ui I don't think that releasing cvs snapshot of libcurses-ui-perl is good.
