in reply to How to UPDATE rather than append to STDOUT?

You're not actually going to update the contents of STDOUT, you're going to exploit your terminal in order to move the cursor around.

You could look at Term::* and Curses::*. There, you will find a vast array of terminal manipulation routines.

You could use the backspace character (\b), as someone just mentioned.

Update: or carriage return (\r)
