Subject: File read progress

Hopefully this is an easy one...

I'm processing a very large file into a hash and would like to have a status
message telling me how far along it is (i.e. 30% processed...).  What I
would like to do is:

1) find out how many times a keyword is found in this file (since this is a
big file I don't want to have to iterate twice, once for total keywords and
once for storing the records associated with them), or
2) query the filehandle to tell me where I am at with respect to the total
file size.

Any ideas?
