Hi Ive got a file delete routine which in a loop as each singular file or directory is removed I do this: print STDERR "."; which gives a continuous row of dots progressing across the screen as each file or directory is deleted.
using below:
use File::Copy::Recursive qw(fcopy rcopy dircopy fmove rmove dirmove);
dircopy($a,$b);
I have no idea how to write a callback to the dircopy() function, or if its possible. But there are thousands of files, and once the perl script is called seeing a blinking cursor is very non-intuitive and I'd appreciate if anyone could advise how I can simply show the dots progress as per the delete routine.
Regards, Al.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
