The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Term::Twiddle DSLIP: RdpOp description: twiddles baton while-u-wait for long subrout userid: SCOTTW (Scott Wiersdorf) chapterid: 8 (User_Interfaces) communities:
similar: Term::ProgressBar rationale: Like Term::ProgressBar, Term::Twiddle is purely for watching something while something else happens. Term::Twiddle provides a configurable baton (like FreeBSD's boot loader) to watch. You can change the baton into just about anything you can animate with ascii characters in a sequence (e.g., an arrow, bouncing ball, blinking eyes, etc.). There isn't anything else in the Term (or in CPAN afaik) that does this. enteredby: SCOTTW (Scott Wiersdorf) enteredon: Wed Dec 11 22:38:19 2002 GMT The resulting entry would be: Term:: ::Twiddle RdpOp twiddles baton while-u-wait for long subrout SCOTTW Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=fe300000_79560c1d03bcf09b&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=fe300000_79560c1d03bcf09b&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
