NAME

Term::YAP - show pulsed progress bar in terminal

SYNOPSIS

    use Term::YAP;
	
	my $yap = Term::YAP->new( { name => 'Checking', rotate => 0, time => 1 } );
	
    $yap->start(); # start the pulse
    # do something between
    $yap->stop() # stop it

DESCRIPTION

Term::YAP is a Moo based class to implement a "pulse" bar in a terminal. A pulse bar does not shows any progress of the task being executed but at least shows that the program is working instead of showing nothing for user.

This is the parent class and some methods were not implemented, you probably want to look for subclasses to get an implementation.

This module was shamelessly copied from Term::Pulse. Sorry, couldn't get my bug/patch approved. :-)
