using fmli to create menu's

I am currently having a problem creating a dynamic Menu that reads in from a file and appends this Menu list with an exit menu item.

the syntax I am using to create the dynamic Menu is

menu="$ARG1 Host names"

`cat Hosts.data | regex '^(''.*)$0$' '
name="$m0"
action=open Menu.Login.mnu $ARG1 $m0

1) This created a menu that had 3 columns, I only wanted 1 column
2) I tried to add an Exit Menu item to the list but it creates one after each Menu list. e.g.

host1
exit
host2
exit
host3
exit

NAME
Curses::Widgets::Menu - Menu Widgets MODULE VERSION
$Id: Menu.pm,v 1.103 2002/11/14 01:26:34 corliss Exp corliss $ SYNOPSIS
use Curses::Widgets::Menu; $menu = Curses::Widgets::Menu->new({ COLUMNS => 10, INPUTFUNC => &scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', FOCUSSWITCH => " ", X => 1, Y => 1, MENUS => { MENUORDER => [qw(File)], File => { ITEMORDER => [qw(Save Quit)], Save => &Save, Quit => &Quit, }, CURSORPOS => 'File', BORDER => 1, }); $menu->draw($mwh, 1); $menu->execute; See the Curses::Widgets pod for other methods. REQUIREMENTS
Curses Curses::Widgets Curses::Widgets::ListBox DESCRIPTION
Curses::Widgets::Menu provides simplified OO access to menus. Each item in a menu can be tied to a subroutine reference which is called when selected. METHODS
new (inherited from Curses::Widgets) $menu = Curses::Widgets::Menu->new({ INPUTFUNC => &scankey, FOREGROUND => undef, BACKGROUND => 'black', FOCUSSWITCH => " ", MENUS => { MENUORDER => [qw(File)], File => { ITEMORDER => [qw(Save Quit)], Save => &Save, Quit => &Quit, }, CURSORPOS => 'File', BORDER => 1, }); The new method instantiates a new Menu object. The only mandatory key/value pairs in the configuration hash are X and Y. All others have the following defaults: Key Default Description ============================================================ INPUTFUNC &scankey Function to use to scan for keystrokes FOREGROUND undef Default foreground colour BACKGROUND 'black' Default background colour FOCUSSWITCH " " Characters which signify end of input MENUS {} Menu structure CURSORPOS '' Current position of the cursor BORDER 0 Avoid window borders The MENUS option is a hash of hashes, with each hash a separate menu, and the constituent hashes being a Entry/Function pairs. Each hash requires a special key/value pair that determines the order of the items when displayed. Each item is separated by two spaces. draw $menu->draw($mwh, 1); The draw method renders the menu in its current state. This requires a valid handle to a curses window in which it will render itself. The optional second argument, if true, will cause the selection cursor to be rendered as well. popup $menu->popup; This method causes the menu to be displayed. Since, theoretically, the menu should never be seen unless it's being actively used, we will always assume that we need to draw a cursor on the list as well. execute $menu->execute; This method acts like the standard Curses::Widgets method of the same name, with the exception being that selection of any menu item will also cause it to exit (having already called the associated item subroutine).
