edatawiz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been following some of threads for the above situation:
I have command line interface to extract data say something which googles set of keywords, extracts url and find page rank.
Now, if I would like to monitor such a progress through a web interface what would be the best way to do it ?

One suggestion was to run the extraction process in background and monitor it using a module (using fork)
I found few sample codes too ! but I have difficulty in following the code. Also, this needs to be run on Windows or Linux. Any right redirection would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Vishy
