Someone sent me that excellent article in response to another question. The problem is not the browser timing out, but rather that the process waits until the end to display the results.

I've actually used the exact code that's in the article you reference: 

my $command = "make -i -j 10 -f upgrade.make";
  
  unless (open F, "-|")
  {
    open STDERR, ">&=1";
    exec "$command";
  }
  
  while (<F>)
  {
    $buffer .= $_;
    $cache->set($session, [0, $buffer]);
  }

And it still waits until the process completes to give me back any output whereas if I run $command from the command line it gives me real-time feedback.
