Have you tried disabling buffering with autoflush?
Just add:
$|=1;
at the top of your script.

    That did the trick. I hadn't come across autoflush before (I guess because I'd never done this sort of thing before with perl). Progress bar is now working.

    Thank you Perl Monks, you clever people you :-)
