[Macperl-Toolbox] status window?

I have an idea for a neat, small, user interface widget, but I'm not
comfortable at all with Toolbox calls... so perhaps someone else might
want to pick it up?

The idea is a small status/progress window. Currently, I send all status
messages to MacPerl's text output window, but as an interface, that
looks like ancient technology.

So I suggest making a small window appear, a bit like a dialog box, but
modeless (doesn't wait for confirmation -- doesn't even need a button),
in which you can put your message. You can update the message as your
script progresses... Perhaps even by tieing STDERR to this as output!

As an extra, a small progress bar, i.e. a rectangle that is partly
filled with a colorfilled rectangle, starting from the far left, could
be handy. But that is only optional, if only the basic, text only,
status windows would work, that would be enough for 95% of all cases.

Any takers? Just the basics. I can add the tie myself, once that would
work.
