I have a perl script that has a countdown timer subroutine that, when ran from a terminal session, overwrites the displayed remaining time every second with the current time remaining. But, when it is ran via webmin run.cgi in a browser, it does NOT overwrite the previous time, it just moves one space to the right of the previous time and writes the new current time remaining to the run.cgi.

Example output to webmin run.cgi in browser:

00:00:58 00:00:57 00:00:56 00:00:55 00:00:54 00:00:53 00:00:52 00:00:51 00:00:50 00:00:49 00:00:48 00:00:47 00:00:46 00:00:45 00:00:44 00:00:43 00:00:42 00:00:41 00:00:40 00:00:39 00:00:38 00:00:37 00:00:36 00:00:35 00:00:34 00:00:33 00:00:32 00:00:31 00:00:30 00:00:29 00:00:28 00:00:27 00:00:26

Countdown timer code:

sub reload_router = 1;
 my $beg_time = time;
 my $end_time = $beg_time + $countdown;

 for (;;) ++;
 sleep(1);
 

 print("rReboot Completed!n");

I have a PDF and PNG screenshot of the output if that would help, but I don't have access to an external image repository where I can upload it.
