in reply to Porting tqdm to Perl

G'day perlancar,

I'm not particularly familiar with Python, and have never heard of tqdm(), so this is just a suggestion.

The Smart::Comments CPAN module achieves something similar to what I think you're looking for. Its "Progress Bars" section has substantial documentation; also see the "Time-Remaining Estimates" section.

It also documents a number of caveats which may be pertinent depending on your intended usage. For instance, it uses source filters and has some efficiency issues when the number of iterations is indeterminate.

    Adding progress bar using Smart::Comments is cute, and has its pro's too, but is not a solution I prefer in real-world practice. Actually you don't need to know much Python to understand the library, but it helps to know that Python uses iterable a lot and that is advantage for tqdm.
