<p>But that doesn't make count 0 if count was 4 as the OP's code had it.</p>
<code>
print "\b\b\b\b" unless $count %= 4
</code>
<p>is closer but also executes the print statement for $count = 0, 8, 12, etc., and assigns 0 to $count for 8, 12, etc.</p>
<p>This works:</p>
<code>
$count = 0, print "\b\b\b\b" if $count == 4;
</code>
<p>but I'd use a block here.</p>
