in reply to How to stream output to html page?

there are several ways to satisfy your intentions. here are two of them:
1. set $| to a true value. this will autoflush the output stream after each print statement.
2. take a look at the htt protocol. there is e.g. the response code 206 "partial content", or the widely unknown response code 100 "continue", which both might be of interest for you.

    Note: On a simple setup (such as Apache/Windows/Strawberry Perl) if you don't add a
    to insert a newline as part of the print, then it won't flush.
