Greetings,
No disrespect intended, but generally speaking, the *NIX crowd tend to be pretty savvy
when it comes to "tech stuff". That said, if you have any experience in Perl, you might
want to look into the tk, or gtk Perl bindings/toolkits. Basically put; they allow you
to incorporate buttons, and other widgets into your Perl applications, that will run
on other platforms easily. It would also be worth looking into using CGI. There a massive
collection of freely available modules that provide the "progress-bars" you noted, as well as Jason.
Simply running a search on CPAN for
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=tk&mode=all tk. Provided a few hundred possibilies.
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=gtk&mode=all gtk, gave much the same.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
