in reply to About how PERL scripts execute

I've gotten this sort of thing to work on most browsers at work by making sure STDOUT is automatically flushed and then having my long running upload CGI use an alarm signal catcher to periodically print a progress character.

    Thanks for the note Steve

    Do you think you could give me an example of an alarm signal catcher?. I'm new to Perl and after looking at the alarm function I see that it would simply kill my CGI after a certain period of time

    I'm assuming you wrote some code as a kind of wrapper for alarm?

    Thanks
