Acme::ProgressBar - a simple progress bar for the patient
version 1.125
use Acme::ProgressBar;
progress { do_something_slow };
Acme::ProgressBar provides a simple solution designed to provide accurate countdowns. No progress bar object needs to be created, and all the calculation of progress through total time required is handled by the module itself.
progress progress { unlink $_ for <*> };
progress { while (<>) { $ua->get($_) } };
progress { sleep 5; }
There is only one function exported by default, progress. This function takes a coderef as its lone argument. It will execute this code and display a simple progress bar indicating the time required for ten iterations through the code.

Thanks to Steve Lidie for pointing out a stupid error in 1.001: I couldn't count to ten, and he could.
