icius has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello monks!
I have been perusing the prolific "spinner" posts and there are a number of options out there. I am trying to get a spinner/status bar to work like the Term::Twiddle module, i.e.
$spinner->start;
do some other Perl stuff of my choosing
$spinner->stop;
The spinners all look great but they are all infinite loops or counted loops. I need to be able to start and stop like above. The best solution would be if someone knows of a version of Term::Twiddle that works on Windows. The next best would be if someone knows how to use any of the spinners in the above fashion. Thanks!!
