If you're willing to stick with backspace and carriage return, this really isn't a hard hack at all. Here's a twirly-bob:
{ my $p=0; $|=1; sub tick { print substr(qq{|/-\\|/-\\}, $p++, 1), "\b"; $p=0 if ($p > 8); } }
Just call tick repeatedly and the thing will spin. Or a percentage meter:
{ my $bar=qq{0%..........50%..........100%}; $|=1; sub bar { local $_=$bar; substr($_, $_[0]/100*length($_), 1)="|"; print "$_\r"; } }
Just call bar with a number between 1 and 100 to indicate how complete things are.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
