in reply to Creating hourglass using PERL

Hi Misba,

Are you trying to create an asci hour glass to display while there is something being done?
If it has to be an hourglass I dont know of any modules to do that for you, so you may have to code that yourself.

However, you may want to look at the Term::ProgressBar module.
"Term::ProgressBar - provide a progress meter on a standard terminal"

Have a look at the documentation and see if this suits your needs.

Hope this helps.

Martin
