PHP File Upload

So, I've heard of something in I think PHP 5.2 that allows you to monitor file upload status? I can't seem to find any decent documentation on it or any tutorials for that matter. Is this better to use over Perl? And do a lot of servers support it?

I'm looking to build a upload script as an attachment to one of my projects and considering general uploads are around 25-50 MB a progress meter of some sort would be needed to let the user know the script is still working. I prefer not to use Perl just because I don't know the language (and most of the upload scripts are a mess of stuff I don't understand).

You probably mean this:

http://pecl.php.net/package/uploadprogress

I you search around for its name you will find some demos of how to use it. Still surprisingly little progress (sorry for the pun) with getting this to be a standard feature. There is probably a good technical reason why.
