Re: Perl and 7zip and backticks

[GrandFather]

There are no trivial fixes to the problem. Back ticks doesn't return the output from the process it runs until the process terminates.

It may be that something like Archive::Zip is useful to you instead of calling out to the OS.

Thanks for responding, sounds like I'll just have to live with it...

There are other modules which claim support for 7zip format, they may or may not provide ability to output a progress bar, and they may not be trivial to install :)
