CATALYST: How to setup timed refresh

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

I have a new Perl Catalyst application that controls jobs being executed in the background. I need the application to refresh the display every 5 seconds with the current status of these jobs.

How can I configure Catalyst to do this? Or would this be easier to be performed thru Javascript?

Unless you are using websockets (or cometd maybe…) the only way is HTML/JS. Meta refresh or JS ⇨ `ajax` + `setTimeOut()`, `setInterval()`, `location.reload()`+ `jQuery.delay()`, and so on and so forth. Update: removed a `\s`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I'm pretty sure that is a browser function so javascript. Neil Watson watson-wilson.ca	[reply]
