I am building a simple timer script and I wanted to make a loading bar that corresponded to the time. But unfortunately I can't get it to print without making a new line Thanks... I'm not to good a perl 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Math::Round qw(:all);
print "Minutes?\n";
$minutes = <>;
chop $minutes;
$timeleft = 60*$minutes;
system("clear");
while($timeleft >= 0){
$devided = $timeleft/60;
$rounded = nlowmult (1, $devided);
$seconds = $timeleft-($rounded*60);
print "$rounded minutes and to $seconds seconds left\n";
$ran = 30/$timeleft;
$count = $ran*$timeleft;
while ($count >=0 ){
print "#";
$count--;
}

sleep (1);
system("clear");
$timeleft--;
}
print "TIME UP!!!!!!\a";
while (1){
print "\a";
print "\a";
}
