Term::ProgressBar.
Progress bars are handy - they tell you how much work has been done, how much
is left to do and estimate how long it will take. But they can be fiddly! This
module does the right thing in almost all cases in a really convenient way.
It wraps Term::ProgressBar::Quiet so there is no output unless the code is
running interactively - lets you put them in cron scripts.
It deals with minor updates - only refreshes the screen when it will change
what the user sees so it is efficient.
It completes the progress bar when the progress object is destroyed (explicitly
or by going out of scope) - no more '99%' done.

This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use
WEB-based interface to it, please see:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports
For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the
FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from:
http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
for the latest official version
or:
The ports(7) manual page (man ports).
These will explain how to use ports and packages.
If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by
saying (in /usr/ports):
make search name="<name>"
or:
make search key="<keyword>"
which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>.
make search also supports wildcards, such as:
make search name="gtk*"
For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's
Handbook, available at:

NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage!
The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles,
and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work
subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done
building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically
cleaned without ill-effect.
