G'day lycanhunter,

Welcome to the Monastery.

Without seeing any code or even knowing how your application is to be run, here's some module suggestions.

Smart::Comments

Possibly the easiest to use. See both the Progress Bars and Time-Remaining Estimates sections. It uses source filters which could be a potential problem: see BUGS AND LIMITATIONS.

Term::Spinner

This displays a text-based spinner. It shows that the program is still running but doesn't give any indication of progress. This module requires Moose.

Tk::ProgressBar

If your application is a Tk GUI, this provides a graphical progress bar. Other GUIs will typically provide their own graphical progress bars.

If you provide better initial information, we can provide better help. I appreciate this is your first post and possibly you weren't aware what sort of details we needed. Before posting again, please read "How do I post a question effectively?": better questions get better answers.
