It sounds like you are developing a CGI application. If this is the case, turning off output buffering may ensure that the output from the script is displayed in the browser:

$|++;

Yes I am, and I am using $|++ already, but at some point I would like to have what the exit does but no success yet.

then you're between a rock and a hard place.

you may need to refactor the output ... so that you're sending stuff more frequently .....

without seeing any code, that's probably the best any of us can do ...

The behavior may be browser dependent. I've noticed that Safari on Mac OS X doesn't incrementally load pages even if the output buffering is disabled by the script. However, Firefox does incrementally display the page.

While more complicated, a solution developed by Randal Schwartz may be more appropriate, if you are trying to provide incremental feedback during a long-running operation.
