Re: Term::ProgressBar won't update

In the docs example, it is implicitly looping over $_ in the line for (0 .. $max). In your case you are using $i (which is probably a good thing), so you should use that instead: $next_update = $progress->update($i) if $i >= $next_update.

Yes that did it. I still don't for the life of me see where $_ is getting updated in the sample code. Isn't $i the index in the sample? Maybe it's some Perl voodoo/arcana I don't understand.	[reply]
