C_T has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
This may seem like a silly question, but some people have claimed it can be done. If anyone knows how to do it, you guys will, so here goes...
Right now I have a CGI page which does the following: What I'd like is: In other words, I'd like the user to have real-time feedback on what's going on behind the scenes in Perl. If possible, I'd like to have this display happen without updating the webpage, but that seems not possible with what I currently know about CGI and HTML. I'd rather avoid writing an applet or java application to do the user feedback as the tasks are performed. Perhaps the only way is to have something refresh the page automatically every few seconds? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks! CT
