I have uploaded Acme::ProgressBar 1.003, which fixes this problem.  I am
dumb!

I had a base iteration (run and time the code) and then the delays and
message updates.  For some reason, I only delayed and updated eight
times, when I clearly needed nine.  Thanks for reminding me that we use
base ten here on Earth.

Nope!  -Mblib will only find blib and put it into your path.  It won't
actually use the code in there.  So, this would've worked:

 perl -Mblib -MAcme::ProgressBar -e'progress {sleep 5}'

I never use blib, for no good reason.  I always use -I lib, since it
saves me having to 'make' before testing.
