Well, below is the example from the k::Progress bar.
Now, it’s NOT blatantly obvious on to how to get this code to work in conjunction with the Dirtree so that if a large drive was selected then the progress bar will indicate that the script is obtaining information and the progress bar will disappear once the data is ready to be displayed.
Is there simpler example for a slow monk like me please? 
 


use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::ProgressBar;
use Tk::Scale;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $status_var = 0;

my($fromv,$tov) = (0,100);

foreach my $loop (0..1) 
{
    my $res = 0;
    my $blks = 10;
    my @p = qw(top bottom left right);
    foreach my $dir (qw(e)) 
    {
        $mw->ProgressBar(
        -borderwidth => 2,
        -relief => 'sunken',
        -width => 20,
        -padx => 2,
        -pady => 2,
        -variable => \$status_var,
        -colors => [0 => 'green', 50 => 'yellow' , 80 => 'red'],
        -resolution => $res,
        -blocks => $blks,
        -anchor => $dir,
        -from => $fromv,
        -to => $tov
        )->pack(
        -padx => 10,
        -pady => 10,
        -side => pop(@p),
        -fill => 'both',
        -expand => 1
    );
    $blks = abs($blks - ($res * 2));
    $res = abs(5 - $res);
    }
    ($fromv,$tov) = ($tov,$fromv);
}
$mw->Scale(-from => 0, -to => 100, -variable => \$status_var)->pack;

MainLoop;
