I haven't played around with it yet, but they seem to have a working example w/ source code here:

To clarify, what we're talking about is more of a "processing" indicator than a progress bar. Its a way to let the user know something is happening. But its not a real progress bar which would show the actual percentage of the upload completed. That said, a simple message/image or hidden div might be sufficient in your case. And as gdemaria said its simple to implement.
I have used the CF_Upload tag from Adiabata:

It takes a couple steps to implement but is well documented and creates a very clean solution. The price is very reasonable as well.
I would recommend this solution (for what its worth) - as it is the closest (non-Flash) to real progress meter as I have found for developing web applications.

This is actually a pretty popular question; there are lots of different approaches.
I maintain that the easiest way to do it is to have had hidden DIV on the form page, when the user clicks the Upload button, use onClick to display the contents of that DIV (something like processing, please wait..). This will remain on the screen until the file is uploaded and the next page is ready to display.
The other options include submitting to a "middle" page which shows the please wait message and uses a meta tag redirect to resubmit and upload your file. I don't see that buying you much. Let me know if you want to that route.
