Here's my code. my $countdown = 5; while ($countdown > 0){ print "\."; sleep 1; $countdown--; } print "Kaboom!!" And the result.. after waiting for 5 seconds, it displayed this line at once: .....Kaboom!! Why does this happens with a while loop? I told it to print a single dot every 1 second. Do you know another way of making my progress bar program that display a single dot every one second on the same line until it reaches a given time?
