My first japh.

my$p;&{sub{map{$p.=chr$_}unpack(join('a',('',split(//,$_->[1]))),# $_->[0]);$p.=chr(32);}}foreach[qw/74117115116 2333/],#####JAPH#### [qw/65110111116104101114 2333333/],[qw/80101114108 2333/],##JAPH## [qw/729799107101114 222333/];$_=$p;chop;print,print"\n";###JAPH###

Update: Added some fancy spinners, resulting in below:

my($c,@s)=(0,qw( | / - \ ));$|++;my$p;&{sub{map{$p.=chr$_} unpack(join('a',('',split(//,$_->[1]))),$_->[0]);}}foreach [qw/74117115116 2333/],[qw/65110111116104101114 2333333/], [qw/80101114108 2333/],[qw/729799107101114 222333/];{my$z= $c<4?$s[$c++]:$s [$c=0];printf"\ec%s%s%s",$z,$p,$z,select* STDOUT,*STDOUT,*STDOUT,0.1,;redo;}##########JAPH##########
