OK, you asked for it!

1) request an example that one can run before installation

2) so I came up with this:

  perl -Mblib -e  'use Acme::ProgressBar; progress {sleep 5}'

it took 47 seconds to execute, so I am confused


although all being equal I would have tought this would have performed 
similarly:

  perl -Mblib -e  'progress {sleep 5}'

but it didn't compile
