If you use Linux, you may have seen the progress bar printed by
'rpm -Uvh'. It is a sequence of fifty hash marks.
I've written a module to do the same in Perl:
use Console::ProgressBar;
my $bar = new Console::ProgressBar 'doing things', 100;
foreach (0 .. 100 - 1) {
# do thing
update $bar;
}
Output:
doing things: ##################
The bar grows in proportion to the number of things done, so that when
everything has been done fifty hash marks have been printed.
Is the name Console::ProgressBar okay? It is just ASCII text, no cursor
movement or other trickery.
