Seems kind of a Catch 22 situation. I need the caching for the reason you allude to. The process which is being buffered can take four hours to complete, so that's why I'm doing the caching and 5-second refreshing, to keep the browser from timing out.

But it's that caching that's keeping me from seeing real-time results.

You could use a solution like merlyn's by extending the key to be $session-$line and then retreiving each line individually.

Can you expand on this idea? I'm not sure how this would work. Wouldn't I lose the ability to display everything that had happend so far and only see the single line that was currently being displayed? Maybe some sample code (if you know any) would be helpful.
