I'm using Xcopy in a batch file to backup files to my CDRW.

When my cdrw drive is idle for a long period of time, xcopy fails to copy the first line in the batch file. Only after my burner is completely "on-line" does this not happen.

So I've decided to use perl to "wake up" my burner prior to backing up, so that it's ready.

I'm using File::Find to recurse the disk in my cdrw drive prior to backing up. This is where my problem comes in.

I can't seem to get the progressbar and sub routine used with File::Find to match up. My bar fnishes before the whole process does.

I don't want a progressbar thats 1000 pixels wide?
I hope I've been clear with my question.

Thanks.
