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

Hello all. Here's my scenario: Trying to convert a handful of my perl files to work web-based. However, a few of them can take up to 10 minutes to execute. (They use server pushes to show the user their progress). My problem is the perl file likes to timeout after X amount of minutes (seems like 2). Does anyone know of the setting (perl or IIS-wise) to extend the timeout? Gras, Bryan

    Number of different ways to go about this ... you can modify IIS to extend the timeout of scripts. However in your case it would probably be better to do it in a "case-by-case" basis.

    A number of other users have asked this question ... check out Browser Timeout for your best option ...

    Your best bet would be to go with NPH (non parsed headers), you may need to apply a patch to IIS depending on your version. Check this out for more info.

    Read up and see if you have "issues" then.
