progress bar while perl prog is running

gdnew has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hallo Perlmonks..

Is there any way to show/ create a progress bar.. while perl program is running using perl language?

For eq I have a perl program called myprog.pl which will access a very large database and takes a very long time.While this program is running through the database, instead of just hang in there, I want to create a progress bar to show the user how many percentage left.

Thank you in advanced.

Regards
gdnew

Well you can look at this node. I found this by typing 'progress bar' in the search box up above there.

You can also look at the CPAN module Term::ProgressBar or Curses if you want roll your own.

I would also recommend these nodes:
