Dear Reader, Since I just started learning perl I have been looking for some useless tings to write just to learn perl...
Maybe you consider your self a newbie too. In that case it might be interesting for you to discuss this senario. If you know where I could look in order to be less clueless please tell me. When you copy a large file (using Debian Linux) over a network you cannot see the following stats: - percentage done till completion - speed (KB/s) - EST (time remaining) - if not too complicated: the same statics stated above but also for all files queued. An example command BEFORE this perl script could be: cp -vR /home /nfsserver/home or zcat /backup/somedir/foo.tar.gz | /dev/hda1 and AFTER: cp -vR /home/nfsserver | xstra |/home where 'xstra' is the perl script. I am thinking of a 'tee' like program tee - read from standard input and write to standard out put and files With as a imaginable result stats in the top or button of the screen, comparible to what some ftp programs (and of course apt-get) display when you are downloading something.
