Why did you use system (sleep...) instead of simply using Perl's sleep()? Haven't played with it much beyond changing that to get it to run on WinXP/ActiveState.

    It couldn't work properly on Windoze, since it's a _bash_ animation (then worx only under *nix) and perl's sleep() doesn't accept floating point numbers as arg.
    It doesn't display all that char's you can see under windows, but just a jumping colored tux.
