Not trying to hi-jack the thread, I just slapped this code of yours a modified version of this code above into a byte reverse script I have, and it does work correctly, but it slows it down dramatically. I guess it is all the figuring of the percentages and printing to console. In my tests with Time::HiRes I get times of .02 sec without printing progress bar, and times of .78 sec with progress bar. Any ideas to speed that up? Sorry if I am getting off topic, I just didnt want to make a new thread.

EDIT: I was able to speed it up to .22 sec with progress bar by adjusting the buffer size.
EDIT2: Nevermind, I got it back to =~ .1 sec. Though I would like to get it back down to around .02 :P
