If you do not know what Pipe Viewer is (I did not know about it until 5 minutes ago), then this blog does a good job giving a brief introduction to it with some examples. I write a lot of Perl Scripts as an ETL developer and a lot of times, the files that I work with take really long time to operate with (unzipping, moving, etc). Therefore, this tool would be awesome except I work in a Windows Environment. If anyone knows of a tool that gives you Progress of an operation running in the pipeline, please let me know as that would make my scripts that much more useful.
Thanks!

I doubt such a tool exists for win32, but it should run on cygwin. But then again You probably don't use it :)
tundal45 : I know about Cygwin and I use Ubuntu at home so I would not come across such issues for my personal projects. However, since my company is a Windows Shop, its tough. I was fairly certain that such a tool may not be present in Windows environment but I thought It would not hurt to ask. Thanks tho! -
I tried to compile under cygwin, but no luck. Googled for a CYGWIN binary, too -- again, no luck.
Any tips out there?

I finally made it work on Cygwin environment though that is not answer for the original post. "--disable-nls" does the trick.
./configure --disable-nls
make
make test
cp pv /usr/bin

davr : Could you post this online somewhere so I can just get that pv.exe without having to setup a whole cygwin install? thanks
