This question has been asked before.
Low-tech, and most compatible:
------------------------------
$| = 1; # turn on autoflush
print 'Please Wait';
while (executing_long_action) {
print '.';
}
print 'Done!';
Nicer, but you need IE4+:
-------------------------
html:
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="50%">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="blue" id="progress"> </td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
script:
$| = 1; # turn on autoflush
while (executing_long_action) {
$percent = some_percent_calcuation;
if ($percent != $last_percent) {
print <<EOT;
<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.all('progress').width = "$percent%";
//-->
</script>
EOT
}
$last_percent = $percent;
}
You might also be able to do something with server push, but I don't have
any examples of that.

Subject: ProgressBar via webpage?
Has anyone successfully created a Progress Bar for a
web page. I'm beginning to think this is imposable.
Any one with some "know how" I'd sure appreciate
hearing from you.
many thanks,
