I've seen a Damian Conway presentation where he faked out this
behavior by prefixing all output with enough backspace ("\h")
characters to wipe out the previous output and display a new line.
I guess you mean \b, not \h :-)
That must've been it then :)
That does work for me under Win2k.
Does the \r solution work on winders (I don't have any Winders computers) also?
perl -e '$|=1; print "\rLine $_" and sleep 1 for 1..3; print "\n"'
