I've done a bit of work with this.. The basic idea is:
$HTTP::Request::Common::DYNAMIC_FILE_UPLOAD = 1;
my $req = make_http_request();
my $gen = $req->content();
die unless ref($gen) eq "CODE";
$req->content(
sub {
my $chunk = &$gen();
print "." x (length($chunk)/1024) if defined $chunk;
return $chunk;
}
);
my $res = $ua->request($req);
This snippet will spit out a period for, more or less, each kilobyte uploaded. That's the theory. I've found that this isn't entirely reliable for every LWP implementation I've tried (not many, either).

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).
