Re: Show information before end of script

[amw1]

Not strictly a perl solution, but you could use ajax to handle this. Your CGI would return a page that says processing and exit. This page would have some javascript that would periodically do an xmlhttprequest to a status script on the server. When the job is done the javascript would get the finished status from the status script and update the page accordingly.
