Hello, I'm writing a script that needs a progress bar that goes back to 0 (at the beginning of each file being parsed in, obviously ;-), but cannot find any way to get the progress bar to restart itself. I have tried many methods, none of which have worked. I'll update this post with my code if necessary, but I'm using the code straight from the user docs, and all the variations I've tried would take three or four screen scrolls....

The best I've been able to get is a single progress bar that goes to and just stays at 100%, and the worst is multiple bars that pop in one under another, still at 100%, or no progress bars at all; it depends on how you look at it as to which is worse...

I've tried resetting the init values with $pb->configure() but I get a "tied" error and perl exits...

untie attempted while 1 inner references still exist at C:/Perl/site/l
+ib/Tk/ProgressBar.pm line 306.
Can't call method "pack" on unblessed reference at myscript.pl line 43

Any advice, hints, pointers appreciated...

Thank you,
