 Revision history for Term-Sk
 
-0.01    20 Jun 2009
-        First version, released on an unsuspecting world.
-
-0.02    24 Nov 2009
-        make option {quiet => !-t STDOUT} the default
-        make option {pdisp => '!'} meaningless, i.e. always use "#" to
-          display the progress bar
-
-0.03    22 Jan 2010
-        add code to detect $ENV{TERM_SK_OUTPUT} to connect to, in which case {quiet =>...} is ignored
-        add Build.PL
-        add Sidenotes.pod
-        make new() die on errors
-        add "use IO::Handle" and replace "local $| = 1;" by "IO::Handle::flush();"
-
-0.04    27 Mar 2010
-        add a function rem_backspace() that takes a file and removes backspaces from that file
-        revert back to version 0.02 (except for "add Build.PL" and "make new() die on errors"), that is...
-          - remove item from ver 0.03: "...add code to detect $ENV{TERM_SK_OUTPUT}..."
-          - remove item from ver 0.03: "...add Sidenotes.pod..."
-          - remove item from ver 0.03: "...add use IO::Handle and replace local $| = 1;..."
-
-0.05    11 May 2010
-        in Build.PL and in Makefile.PL
-        change requirement "use 5.10" to the less restrictive "use 5.8"
-
-0.06    28 May 2010
-        add option {num => q{9'999}} to allow variable number formats
-
-        add dynamic growth of a number, such that format: '%c of %m' outputs
-        2_870 of 9_274
-
-        Also, write something reasonable in file README
-
-0.07    09 May 2011
-        Introduce a new format character "%k" (="Token"). Idea and patch provided by Bruce Ravel.
-        Token which updates its value before being displayed. An example use
-        of this would be a loop wherein every step of the loop could be
-        identified by a particular string.
-

+
+ Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
+at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
+General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
+software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
+You can use it for your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
+sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
+software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
+that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
+programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+  0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
+contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
+distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
+"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
+on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
+Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
+licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
+code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
+disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
+General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
+other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
+along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
+transferring a copy.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
+it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
+1 above, provided that you also do the following:
+
+    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
+    you changed the files and the date of any change; and
+
+    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
+    in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
+    with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
+    third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
+    that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
+    third parties, at your option).
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
+    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
+    in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
+    that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
+    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
+    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
+    Public License.
+
+    d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
+    copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
+    exchange for a fee.
+
+Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
+derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
+the other work under the scope of these terms.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
+it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
+    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
+    for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
+    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
+    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
+    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
+
+Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
+modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
+all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
+exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
+libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
+file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
+accompany that operating system.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
+Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
+Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
+the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
+the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
+copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
+License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
+remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
+on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
+and all its terms and conditions.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
+licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
+terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
+recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+
+  7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+  8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+                            NO WARRANTY
+
+  9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+        Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
+terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
+attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
+the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
+"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
+    any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA  02110-1301 USA
+
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
+    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
+appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
+commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
+c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
+program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here a sample; alter the names:
+
+  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
+  program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes

+
+The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package

-Term-Sk Version 0.14
-
-This is a Perl extension for displaying a progress indicator on a terminal.
-
-SYNOPSIS
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('%d Elapsed: %8t %21b %4p %2d (%8c of %11m)',
-    {quiet => 0, freq => 10, base => 0, target => 100, pdisp => '!'})
-    or die "Error 0010: Term::Sk->new, ".
-           "(code $Term::Sk::errcode) ".
-           "$Term::Sk::errmsg";
-
-  $ctr->up for (1..100);
-
-  $ctr->down for (1..100);
-
-  $ctr->whisper('abc'); 
-
-  my last_line = $ctr->get_line;
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-  print "Number of ticks: ", $ctr->ticks, "\n";
-
-EXAMPLES
-
-Term::Sk is a class to implement a progress indicator ("Sk" is a short form for "Show Key"). This is used to provide immediate feedback for
-long running processes.
-
-A sample code fragment that uses Term::Sk:
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  print qq{This is a test of "Term::Sk"\n\n};
-
-  my $target = 2_845;
-  my $format = '%2d Elapsed: %8t %21b %4p %2d (%8c of %11m)';
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format,
-    {freq => 10, base => 0, target => $target, pdisp => '!'})
-    or die "Error 0010: Term::Sk->new, ".
-           "(code $Term::Sk::errcode) ".
-           "$Term::Sk::errmsg";
-
-  for (1..$target) {
-      $ctr->up;
-      do_something();
-  }
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-  sub do_something {
-      my $test = 0;
-      for my $i (0..10_000) {
-          $test += sin($i) * cos($i);
-      }
-  }

-=head1 NAME
-
-Term::Sk - Perl extension for displaying a progress indicator on a terminal.
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('%d Elapsed: %8t %21b %4p %2d (%8c of %11m)',
-    {quiet => 0, freq => 10, base => 0, target => 100, pdisp => '!'});
-
-  $ctr->up for (1..100);
-
-  $ctr->down for (1..100);
-
-  $ctr->whisper('abc'); 
-
-  my last_line = $ctr->get_line;
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-  print "Number of ticks: ", $ctr->ticks, "\n";
-
-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
-Term::Sk is a class to implement a progress indicator ("Sk" is a short form for "Show Key"). This is used to provide immediate feedback for
-long running processes.
-
-A sample code fragment that uses Term::Sk:
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  print qq{This is a test of "Term::Sk"\n\n};
-
-  my $target = 2_845;
-  my $format = '%2d Elapsed: %8t %21b %4p %2d (%8c of %11m)';
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format,
-    {freq => 10, base => 0, target => $target, pdisp => '!'});
-
-  for (1..$target) {
-      $ctr->up;
-      do_something();
-  }
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-  sub do_something {
-      my $test = 0;
-      for my $i (0..10_000) {
-          $test += sin($i) * cos($i);
-      }
-  }
-
-Another example that counts upwards:
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  my $format = '%21b %4p';
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format, {freq => 's', base => 0, target => 70});
-
-  for (1..10) {
-      $ctr->up(7);
-      sleep 1;
-  }
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-At any time, after Term::Sk->new(), you can query the number of ticks (i.e. number of calls to
-$ctr->up or $ctr->down) using the method 'ticks':
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('%6c', {freq => 's', base => 0, target => 70});
-
-  for (1..4288) {
-      $ctr->up;
-  }
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-  print "Number of ticks: ", $ctr->ticks, "\n";
-
-This example uses a simple progress bar in quiet mode (nothing is printed to STDOUT), but
-instead, the content of what would have been printed can now be extracted using the get_line() method:
-
-  use Term::Sk;
-
-  my $format = 'Ctr %4c';
-
-  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format, {freq => 2, base => 0, target => 10, quiet => 1});
-
-  my $line = $ctr->get_line;
-  $line =~ s/\010/</g;
-  print "This is what would have been printed upon new(): [$line]\n";
-
-  for my $i (1..10) {
-      $ctr->up;
-
-      $line = $ctr->get_line;
-      $line =~ s/\010/</g;
-      print "This is what would have been printed upon $i. call to up(): [$line]\n";
-  }
-
-  $ctr->close;
-
-  $line = $ctr->get_line;
-  $line =~ s/\010/</g;
-  print "This is what would have been printed upon close(): [$line]\n";
-
-Here are some examples that show different values for option {num => ...}
-
-  my $format = 'act %c max %m';
-
-  my $ctr1 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678});
-  # The following numbers are shown: act 1_234_567 max 2_345_678
-
-  my $ctr2 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678, num => q{9,999}});
-  # The following numbers are shown: act 1,234,567 max 2,345,678
-
-  my $ctr3 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678, num => q{9'99}});
-  # The following numbers are shown: act 1'23'45'67 max 2'34'56'78
-
-  my $ctr4 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678, num => q{9}});
-  # The following numbers are shown: act 1234567 max 2345678
-
-  my $ctr5 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678,
-    commify => sub{ join '!', split m{}xms, $_[0]; }});
-  # The following numbers are shown: act 1!2!3!4!5!6!7 max 2!3!4!5!6!7!8
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-=head2 Format strings
-
-The first parameter to new() is the format string which contains the following
-special characters:
-
-=over
-
-=item characters '%d'
-
-a revolving dash, format '/-\|'
-
-=item characters '%t'
-
-time elapsed, format 'hh:mm:ss'
-
-=item characters '%b'
-
-progress bar, format '#####_____'
-
-=item characters '%p'
-
-Progress in percentage, format '999%'
-
-=item characters '%c'
-
-Actual counter value (commified by '_'), format '99_999_999'
-
-=item characters '%m'
-
-Target maximum value (commified by '_'), format '99_999_999'
-
-=item characters '%k'
-
-Token which updates its value before being displayed.  An example use
-of this would be a loop wherein every step of the loop could be
-identified by a particular string.  For example:
-
-    my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('Processing %k counter %c',
-      {base => 0, token => 'Albania'});
-    foreach my $country (@list_of_european_nations) {
-      $ctr->token($country);
-      for (1..500) {
-          $ctr->up;
-          ## do something...
-      }
-    };
-    $ctr->close;
-
-You can also have more than one token on a single line. Here is an example:
-
-    my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('Processing %k Region %k counter %c',
-      {base => 0, token => ['Albania', 'South']});
-    foreach my $country (@list_of_european_nations) {
-      $ctr->token([$country, 'North']);
-      for (1..500) {
-          $ctr->up;
-          ## do something...
-      }
-    };
-    $ctr->close;
-
-The C<token> method is used to update the token value immediately on the screen.
-
-The C<tok_maybe> method is used to set the token value, but the screen is not refreshed immediately.
-
-If '%k' is used, then the counter must be instantiated with an initial value for the token.
-
-=item characters '%P'
-
-The '%' character itself
-
-=back
-
-=head2 Options
-
-The second parameter are the following options:
-
-=over
-
-=item option {freq => 999}
-
-This option sets the refresh-frequency on STDOUT to every 999 up() or
-down() calls. If {freq => 999} is not specified at all, then the
-refresh-frequency is set by default to every up() or down() call.
-
-=item option {freq => 's'}
-
-This is a special case whereby the refresh-frequency on STDOUT  is set to every
-second.
-
-=item option {freq => 'd'}
-
-This is a special case whereby the refresh-frequency on STDOUT  is set to every
-1/10th of a second.
-
-=item option {base => 0}
-
-This specifies the base value from which to count. The default is 0
-
-=item option {target => 10_000}
-
-This specifies the maximum value to which to count. The default is 10_000.
-
-=item option {pdisp => '!'}
-
-This option (with the exclamation mark) is obsolete and has no effect whatsoever. The
-progressbar will always be displayed using the hash-symbol "#".
-
-=item option {quiet => 1}
-
-This option disables most printing to STDOUT, but the content of the would be printed
-line is still available using the method get_line(). The whisper-method, however,
-still shows its output.
-
-The default is in fact {quiet => !-t STDOUT}
-
-=item option {num => '9_999'}
-
-This option configures the output number format for the counters.
-
-=item option {commify => sub{...}}
-
-This option allows one to register a subroutine that formats the counters.
-
-=item option {test => 1}
-
-This option is used for testing purposes only, it disables all printing to STDOUT, even
-the whisper shows no output. But again, the content of the would be printed line is
-still available using the method get_line().
-
-=back
-
-=head2 Processing
-
-The new() method immediately displays the initial values on screen. From now on,
-nothing must be printed to STDOUT and/or STDERR. However, you can write to STDOUT during
-the operation using the method whisper().
-
-We can either count upwards, $ctr->up, or downwards, $ctr->down. Everytime we do so, the
-value is either incremented or decremented and the new value is replaced on STDOUT. We should
-do so regularly during the process. Both methods, $ctr->up(99) and $ctr->down(99) can take an
-optional argument, in which case the value is incremented/decremented by the specified amount.
-
-When our process has finished, we must close the counter ($ctr->close). By doing so, the last
-displayed value is removed from STDOUT, as if nothing had happened. Now we are allowed to print
-again to STDOUT and/or STDERR.
-
-=head2 Post hoc transformation
-
-In some cases it makes sense to redirected STDOUT to a flat file. In this case, the backspace
-characters remain in the flat file.
-
-There is a function "rem_backspace()" that removes the backspaces (including the characters that
-they are supposed to remove) from a redirected file.
-
-Here is a simplified example:
-
-  use Term::Sk qw(rem_backspace);
-
-  my $flatfile = "Test hijabc\010\010\010xyzklmttt\010\010yzz";
-
-  printf "before (len=%3d): '%s'\n", length($flatfile), $flatfile;
-
-  rem_backspace(\$flatfile);
-
-  printf "after  (len=%3d): '%s'\n", length($flatfile), $flatfile;

+=head1 NAME
+
+Term::Sk - Perl extension for displaying a progress indicator on a terminal.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+  use Term::Sk;
+
+  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('%d Elapsed: %8t %21b %4p %2d (%8c of %11m)',
+    {quiet => 0, freq => 10, base => 0, target => 100, pdisp => '!'});
+
+  $ctr->up for (1..100);
+
+  $ctr->down for (1..100);
+
+  $ctr->whisper('abc'); 
+
+  my last_line = $ctr->get_line;
+
+  $ctr->close;
+
+  print "Number of ticks: ", $ctr->ticks, "\n";
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+Term::Sk is a class to implement a progress indicator ("Sk" is a short form for "Show Key"). This is used to provide immediate feedback for
+long running processes.
+
+A sample code fragment that uses Term::Sk:
+
+  use Term::Sk;
+
+  print qq{This is a test of "Term::Sk"\n\n};
+
+  my $target = 2_845;
+  my $format = '%2d Elapsed: %8t %21b %4p %2d (%8c of %11m)';
+
+  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format,
+    {freq => 10, base => 0, target => $target, pdisp => '!'});
+
+  for (1..$target) {
+      $ctr->up;
+      do_something();
+  }
+
+  $ctr->close;
+
+  sub do_something {
+      my $test = 0;
+      for my $i (0..10_000) {
+          $test += sin($i) * cos($i);
+      }
+  }
+
+Another example that counts upwards:
+
+  use Term::Sk;
+
+  my $format = '%21b %4p';
+
+  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format, {freq => 's', base => 0, target => 70});
+
+  for (1..10) {
+      $ctr->up(7);
+      sleep 1;
+  }
+
+  $ctr->close;
+
+At any time, after Term::Sk->new(), you can query the number of ticks (i.e. number of calls to
+$ctr->up or $ctr->down) using the method 'ticks':
+
+  use Term::Sk;
+
+  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('%6c', {freq => 's', base => 0, target => 70});
+
+  for (1..4288) {
+      $ctr->up;
+  }
+
+  $ctr->close;
+
+  print "Number of ticks: ", $ctr->ticks, "\n";
+
+This example uses a simple progress bar in quiet mode (nothing is printed to STDOUT), but
+instead, the content of what would have been printed can now be extracted using the get_line() method:
+
+  use Term::Sk;
+
+  my $format = 'Ctr %4c';
+
+  my $ctr = Term::Sk->new($format, {freq => 2, base => 0, target => 10, quiet => 1});
+
+  my $line = $ctr->get_line;
+  $line =~ s/\010/</g;
+  print "This is what would have been printed upon new(): [$line]\n";
+
+  for my $i (1..10) {
+      $ctr->up;
+
+      $line = $ctr->get_line;
+      $line =~ s/\010/</g;
+      print "This is what would have been printed upon $i. call to up(): [$line]\n";
+  }
+
+  $ctr->close;
+
+  $line = $ctr->get_line;
+  $line =~ s/\010/</g;
+  print "This is what would have been printed upon close(): [$line]\n";
+
+Here are some examples that show different values for option {num => ...}
+
+  my $format = 'act %c max %m';
+
+  my $ctr1 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678});
+  # The following numbers are shown: act 1_234_567 max 2_345_678
+
+  my $ctr2 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678, num => q{9,999}});
+  # The following numbers are shown: act 1,234,567 max 2,345,678
+
+  my $ctr3 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678, num => q{9'99}});
+  # The following numbers are shown: act 1'23'45'67 max 2'34'56'78
+
+  my $ctr4 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678, num => q{9}});
+  # The following numbers are shown: act 1234567 max 2345678
+
+  my $ctr5 = Term::Sk->new($format, {base => 1234567, target => 2345678,
+    commify => sub{ join '!', split m{}xms, $_[0]; }});
+  # The following numbers are shown: act 1!2!3!4!5!6!7 max 2!3!4!5!6!7!8
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+=head2 Format strings
+
+The first parameter to new() is the format string which contains the following
+special characters:
+
+=over
+
+=item characters '%d'
+
+a revolving dash, format '/-\|'
+
+=item characters '%t'
+
+time elapsed, format 'hh:mm:ss'
+
+=item characters '%b'
+
+progress bar, format '#####_____'
+
+=item characters '%p'
+
+Progress in percentage, format '999%'
+
+=item characters '%c'
+
+Actual counter value (commified by '_'), format '99_999_999'
+
+=item characters '%m'
+
+Target maximum value (commified by '_'), format '99_999_999'
+
+=item characters '%k'
+
+Token which updates its value before being displayed.  An example use
+of this would be a loop wherein every step of the loop could be
+identified by a particular string.  For example:
+
+    my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('Processing %k counter %c',
+      {base => 0, token => 'Albania'});
+    foreach my $country (@list_of_european_nations) {
+      $ctr->token($country);
+      for (1..500) {
+          $ctr->up;
+          ## do something...
+      }
+    };
+    $ctr->close;
+
+You can also have more than one token on a single line. Here is an example:
+
+    my $ctr = Term::Sk->new('Processing %k Region %k counter %c',
+      {base => 0, token => ['Albania', 'South']});
+    foreach my $country (@list_of_european_nations) {
+      $ctr->token([$country, 'North']);
+      for (1..500) {
+          $ctr->up;
+          ## do something...
+      }
+    };
+    $ctr->close;
+
+The C<token> method is used to update the token value immediately on the screen.
+
+The C<tok_maybe> method is used to set the token value, but the screen is not refreshed immediately.
+
+If '%k' is used, then the counter must be instantiated with an initial value for the token.
+
+=item characters '%P'
+
+The '%' character itself
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Options
+
+The second parameter are the following options:
+
+=over
+
+=item option {freq => 999}
+
+This option sets the refresh-frequency on STDOUT to every 999 up() or
+down() calls. If {freq => 999} is not specified at all, then the
+refresh-frequency is set by default to every up() or down() call.
+
+=item option {freq => 's'}
+
+This is a special case whereby the refresh-frequency on STDOUT  is set to every
+second.
+
+=item option {freq => 'd'}
+
+This is a special case whereby the refresh-frequency on STDOUT  is set to every
+1/10th of a second.
+
+=item option {base => 0}
+
+This specifies the base value from which to count. The default is 0
+
+=item option {target => 10_000}
+
+This specifies the maximum value to which to count. The default is 10_000.
+
+=item option {pdisp => '!'}
+
+This option (with the exclamation mark) is obsolete and has no effect whatsoever. The
+progressbar will always be displayed using the hash-symbol "#".
+
+=item option {quiet => 1}
+
+This option disables most printing to STDOUT, but the content of the would be printed
+line is still available using the method get_line(). The whisper-method, however,
+still shows its output.
+
+The default is in fact {quiet => !-t STDOUT}
+
+=item option {num => '9_999'}
+
+This option configures the output number format for the counters.
+
+=item option {commify => sub{...}}
+
+This option allows one to register a subroutine that formats the counters.
+
+=item option {test => 1}
+
+This option is used for testing purposes only, it disables all printing to STDOUT, even
+the whisper shows no output. But again, the content of the would be printed line is
+still available using the method get_line().
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Processing
+
+The new() method immediately displays the initial values on screen. From now on,
+nothing must be printed to STDOUT and/or STDERR. However, you can write to STDOUT during
+the operation using the method whisper().
+
+We can either count upwards, $ctr->up, or downwards, $ctr->down. Everytime we do so, the
+value is either incremented or decremented and the new value is replaced on STDOUT. We should
+do so regularly during the process. Both methods, $ctr->up(99) and $ctr->down(99) can take an
+optional argument, in which case the value is incremented/decremented by the specified amount.
+
+When our process has finished, we must close the counter ($ctr->close). By doing so, the last
+displayed value is removed from STDOUT, as if nothing had happened. Now we are allowed to print
+again to STDOUT and/or STDERR.
+
+=head2 Post hoc transformation
+
+In some cases it makes sense to redirected STDOUT to a flat file. In this case, the backspace
+characters remain in the flat file.
+
+There is a function "rem_backspace()" that removes the backspaces (including the characters that
+they are supposed to remove) from a redirected file.
+
+Here is a simplified example:
+
+  use Term::Sk qw(rem_backspace);
+
+  my $flatfile = "Test hijabc\010\010\010xyzklmttt\010\010yzz";
+
+  printf "before (len=%3d): '%s'\n", length($flatfile), $flatfile;
+
+  rem_backspace(\$flatfile);
+
+  printf "after  (len=%3d): '%s'\n", length($flatfile), $flatfile;
