Hi Alexander, thanks for that. I tried renaming my script to nph-bob.pl :

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use CGI qw(:standard -nph);

$| = 1;

print header;

print qq {
<HTML>
   <HEAD>
      <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=wind
+ows-1252">
      <TITLE>the Title</TITLE>
   </HEAD>
<BODY>
};

print "Starting ...<br>\n";
for (my $i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {
   print "$i<br>\n";
   sleep 1;
}
print "</BODY></HTML>";
exit;

No effect at all, one cgi-bin env is fine, the other waits for the page to complete before displaying it. I notice from the Apache 2 documentation that it no longer buffers like pre 1.3 did, and that there is no need for nph- prefixed scripts (I think it meant that).

I even tried using "Multipart/mixed" to no avail either. Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks much,

Caesura

Update : Its actually Server version: Oracle HTTP Server Powered by Apache/1.3.19 (Unix), sorry ;)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
