I've been writting a program in Perl that downloads files from the net. However, I've found that it would be most helpful to see a "download percentage" or other indication that the download is not only working but how far along it is. The problem is the accual downloading is being handled by one single line of code. 
if ($resp->is_success) {
    open (DOWNLOAD, "> $Filename") || warn;
    binmode(DOWNLOAD);
    print DOWNLOAD $resp->content;
    close (DOWNLOAD) || warn;
} ...

[download]
How can I break into this to get the information I want? I feel like I'm missing something basic here.. :(( Alucard
