Does Perl distinguish between desktop and laptop machines?
I wouldn't think so.
Do you run these commands in a Windows cmd.exe command window, or do
you by any chance use some other form of terminal?
If I run get_iplayer with --verbose I can get an instantaneous
download speed indicator similar to the one we used to have.
If I run it on my desktop machine it displays a single line which is
continuously updated, like the indicator we used to have by default.
If I run it on any of my laptops each update is on a new line. I
presume that in the first case the line is terminated with a CR and in
the other cases with a CR LF.
The relevant code seems to be between lines 7206 and 7224. It calls
main::logger with a string formatted by sprintf. If I don't set
--verbose, so the else code is executed, all machines display a single
continuously updated line. In both cases the line appears from the
code to end with CR LF unless {crlf} doesn't mean what it appears to.
It doesn't mean what it looks like. There a line of code (in 3.06, if
that's what you use) that says:
my $crlf = ( $hide_progress || $opt->{logprogress} ) ? "\n" : "\r";
ie setting it to either LF or CR depending on whether those named vars
are set or not. You'd need to look more closely at the perl to find
out under what circumstances they're set one way or another.
