in thread Have CGI call script, display status in browser
Sorry, I should have been more specific The perl script I am
trying to start from a submit button, creates text files
based on data read from a database, then saves these files
to disk. Its output just prints 'RUNNING', and 'COMPLETE' to
STDOUT, which in this case needs to be an HTML form so that
I know the status of the perl script |

Ahhh . . . I see. Perl, in this fashion, is a server side technology. What you need is a client side technology like JavaScript (Though you can still use Perl server side). See cgi buffer flush for a more detailed discussion.
Cheers,
Erik
