Hi Merlyn,

Your example at Watching long processes through CGI (Aug 02) does not work if a person is running Apache ver 2.0 or later. I searched the web for the solution to this problem for awhile and found many references to your page and in other forums people also mentioned your example only prints out all the outputs when the Perl script finished but not while it is running. It would be helpful for others if somehow your example could be updated and include
close STDIN;
close STDERR;
and reopens these standard IOs to NULL to make it work for later version of apache.
Thanks for the reference though.
