if you know in advance how many lines/files you're processing you can do this, otherwise you can only display a bar that lenghtens by a unit each time you start processing another file.
you basically have to insert a printing statement without a \n in the loop of the file/line processing statements.
i've done this a few times, let me know if that didnt help :) | [reply] |

Not (completely) true. You will always know the size of the file you are processing, well at least if it is a regular file, not a socket or something similar. If you know the size, count the bytes you have already processed and your progress bar will always be accurate.

An almost identical question was asked here, and I suggested this code, as an example of a subroutine which creates a "closure" to manage the desired progress meter.
Please try it out; I think it will do what you need.
s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
