I have written a file upload routine (Win32) using PERL (thanks to some helpful monks) which works fine but I would like to enhance it by including a progress indicator bar (or something similar) so I can view the upload progress of the file.

The problem I have is that the PERL program which uploads the file does not display the resultant web page until the file has been uploaded even though my program builds virtually all of the web-page before performing the file upload. This is a problem when uploading a file which takes say 15 mins i.e. I'm left with a blank screen until the upload is complete and the resultant web page is displayed.

This is preventing me from adding code which would indicate the on-going status of the file upload.

I'd be grateful if anybody could offer any suggestions

Thanks

Eoin
