I think the issue is in the $cache->set call. What type of object is $cache?

It's a Cache::FileCache object as described in the paper by Merlyn referenced earlier in the thread.

Basically the cgi keeps calling itself every five seconds, and when it revisits itself it prints the contents of the cache object. So I store all output of the script in this cache object.

Once the long process completes, all its output goes into the cache object as it should. It's just that it takes until it completes to see what's going on.
