What kind of program is it? command-line? CGI? Tk?
Show some of your code, and explain things a bit more.
In the simplest case, if it's a command-line program and you are printing to STDOUT as you go, you can fix your buffering problems with a simple $| = 1;
If it's a CGI program, you might need to look at merlyn's oft-referenced column.

Your problem is in the statement and display results after all the calls are completely done. It sounds like you want to display the results as they come in. Without seeing your code, I have no way to suggest improvements, but that's the design change you'll want to make.
One possibility would be use the threads or forking in order to have various actions running at the same time with the parent thread/process monitoring the children and reporting on results when they come in.
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
