Thanks for your message. I would really like to avoid using a browser or similar external tool for this small application, I'm just trying to display a progress bar / percentage and the computing is not in the scale of hours/days but seconds/minutes so I expect the user to wait here, looking at the UI.
Besides, I'm not interested by displaying the whole history of compute.pl (I understand you were doing that), but only the last value that I'm "trying" to grab.

Just for information, I'm currently using "qx" to execute compute.pl and capture it's exit code, which works fine.
