How to UPDATE rather than append to STDOUT?by Anonymous Monk |

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Perlmonks?
Does anyone know of a way I can REPLACE a counter in STDOUT rather than append new lines to the display. If I knew what this was called I'd search for it :) I want to put a counter on a status line but rather than have to drop a new line for each increment eg: I'd prefer to have the counter update on the same line ie.3 replaced by 4 replaced by 5 etc?? So I don't have the display scrolling over screens and screens of text!
Is there a way to do this using standard Perl tools?
Any help is MUCH, MUCH appreciated.
