Anyone have the code that make the 'clock' show when a Perl program is running?
What I mean by the 'clock' is the command-line movement that sequentially does
the following (in place):
- \ | / - \ | /
when running it looks like a 'clock' to show the user that something is
processing ...
Thx.
Use the backspace '\\b' to back up and over-print the characters. See
`perldoc perlop` under "Quote and Quote-like Operators" and search for /\\b/
Also see `perldoc -f sleep` to slow it down. :)

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
