Re^2: Can a CGI web-page update live?

This is fantastic and does exactly what I want! The only problem is that the browser times out before the script gets everything done.

Is there a way to tell the browser not to time out?

Jumble solver CGI

sub spelled {
    my $word = shift;
    my $out=`$speller $word`;
    chomp($out);
    if ( ($loopCount++ % 10) == 0 ) {
        print "." if ($charCount % 4) == 0;
        print "o" if ($charCount % 4) == 1;
        print "O" if ($charCount % 4) == 2;
        print "o" if ($charCount % 4) == 3;
        $charCount++;
        print "<BR>\n" if ($charCount % 29 ) == 0;
    }
    if ( length($out) > 0 ) {
        print "[$out]<BR>\n";
    }
}

(which is not really the most effiecent way to solve jumbles but is useful for demostrating how to keep the browser from timing out)

        print "." if ($charCount % 4) == 0;
        print "o" if ($charCount % 4) == 1;
        print "O" if ($charCount % 4) == 2;
        print "o" if ($charCount % 4) == 3;
