Hello Monks,
Could anyone point me in the right direction to making a Perl script output as it runs in a browser? Below is a simple example of the difference between running the script via the CLI and the browser. On the CLI the script outputs each line as it finishes. However, via the browser the whole script needs to be execute before the whole results gets printed to screen.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
my @arr = (1..100000);
foreach my $i(@arr){print "$i\n<br />"}
Are there any "tricks" to make the page load, say line by line as the script runs via the browser?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
