title: Perl: How to download a large zip file in a loop and provide feedback
body: <p>Using Perl, how do I download a large zip file from a web server, and while it's downloading, post status messages? I tried <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP::Simple" rel="nofollow">LWP::Simple</a>'s <code>getstore()</code> and turned on <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/LWP::UserAgent#ua-show_progress" rel="nofollow"><code>$ua-&gt;show_progress(1)</code></a>, but it hangs while it's downloading and I can't provide feedback over POSIX Named Pipes to another application.</p>
