IndigoPerl(Win32) does something like this. Check out (crazyinsomniac) Re: IndigoPerl 5.6 for Win32 to see how it works, or just download it and play around.

The basic jist of it that the script gathering the raw data keeps running and appending to an html file, while it redirects the user to a script that refreshes every 10 seconds, and displays the constantly updating html file, until the html file is not being updated any more(no more refresh)

Oh yeah, they also have a binary called PerlConsole.exe which launches your default browser, along with apache, and monitors the browser for closing, so that when you do close it, perlconsole also closes apache.
