Rhodium has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hi all,
Ok, I created my neat little command line widget. Now I want to give some representation that the tool is working. Initially, I started with a "." that repeated across the screen.. This was lame but worked. The problem was when I filled up the screen with dots I couldn't tell if it was still running or did it die. I once saw that someone did a pretty slick pattern that was repeated ontop of each other (.oO.oO.oO). My question is how did they do that, or how can I mimic this on my screen. Is there a better way?
Thanks for your help!
