Re: Progress Bar

[tachyon]

You might like wget style progress bar. Alternatively Super Search for 'progress bar' to turn up many other implementations.

do{ progress_bar( $_, 100, 25, '=' ); sleep 1 } for 1..100;

sub progress_bar {
    my ( $got, $total, $width, $char ) = @_;
    $width ||= 25;
    $char  ||= '=';
    my $num_width = length $total;
    local $| = 1;
    printf "|%-${width}s| Got %${num_width}s bytes of %s (%.2f%%)\r", 
        $char x (($width-1)*$got/$total). '>', $got, $total, 100*$got/
+$total;
}
