Binary Clockby Legg83 (Novice) |

Legg83 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Its been awhile since I've played with perl, and I've fogotten everything more or less. I want to make a script that does the same thing as the binary clock on thinkgeek. I just want to do this so I can get back into perl, and probably learn new things on the way. http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/lights/59e0/action/ Thats the link to the binary clock. I want the script to have an output like so: ** 8 ** ** ** 4 ** ** ** ** 2 ** ** ** ** ** ** ** 1 ** ** ** ** ** HH HH MM MM SS SSwhich would read the time for: 12:59:35 I'm not sure how to loop it so it happens exactly every second, and I'm not sure how to have it refresh in the same area... removing astericks when they arn't needed, and adding them when they are. Also, how can I get the solid rectangle rather than the asterick? Can someone push me in the right direction?
