To be honest, no I haven't read the code or tested it, before filling
the ITP or RFP. So this is the wrong one, but the request for some
sort of Perl module allowing a progressbar depending on a task given
is meant serious. So at first part, sorry for my error.

I just found Term::ProgressBar, I will look into it, maybe it is
exaclty the thing I need. It is allready packaged. Do you know some
else, which will help in this direction?

Kind regards
Salvatore
