% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time
Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left
Speed
100 309 100 309 0 0 755 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--

get written to the STDOUT or the STDERR?


And does it require a shell (bash) to work?

Many thanks,

The progress is sent to 'stderr'.

Any shell should do it. How else did you try this?
Or you haven't tried it?

PS. I think you want a trailing '/' in the URL;

I can run a program without a shell from Perl 6, like
crontab does.

Not yet. I am in the thinking phase of how to show the
status bar when called from Perl 6. I think I will have
to use a shell call.

Thank you!
