Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has seen issues with IE5.5 and output buffer
flushing with CGI.pm.  The script I have written generates a page,
redirects the browser to that page, then continues processing.  Netscape
4.x and IE5.0 are working, IE5.5 isn't.  Here is the code snipit:

#!/usr/local/perl/bin/perl

use CGI;

$q = new CGI;

...
...
Build html page (build array, open file, print array, close file)
...
...
$FLUSH = $|;
$| = 1;  # Turn off buffering

print $q->redirect(-uri=>"http://host.bla/OCFA/$USER.html");

$| = $FLUSH;
 
...
...
Continue processing.  Some of the processing after this point
uses system();

Any pointers would be appreciated.
