This is the "old fashioned" way to do it. Instead, you are
probably better off using the CGI.pm way, which is
documented as such:
use CGI qw [ -nph :standard ];
The '-nph' triggers a header equivalent to the aforementioned
'nph-' prefix on the CGI. There are several alternative methods,
plus other discussion, in the CGI documentation
under 'NPH'.
Of course, you will have to unbuffer STDOUT for full effect,
as with:
$|++;
As a further note, make sure the HTML you are sending to
the browser can be displayed immediately. Under Netscape,
for example, a table will not display until it is fully
loaded. If you keep sending table data ad infinitum, the
table will never display. This also applies to other tags
including, but not limited to, UL and OL.
