locate/print text in perl on screen
 

I want to print a record counter in the middle of my screen while reading a file. In basic I would:

rec=rec+1
locate 15, 30
print rec;

How can I do this in Perl?

TIA

To do GUI work in Perl, you'll need Perl/Tk (see also Tcl). Try these sites :
http://www.perltk.org/ , http://www.perlmonks.com/, http://search.cpan.org/ .

Without getting into GUI stuff is there a way to just put some simple text on the screen?
