    flushing the output does not work...

    The only thing that works is closing STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. But then the script stops!

    This is what I have:

    my $q        = new CGI;
my $session  = CGI::Session->load($q);
my $tmpfile  = $q->upload('upfile');
my $filename = $q->param('upfile');
print $q->redirect('showProgress.cgi');
close STDOUT;
close STDIN;
close STDERR;

# <-- script stops here!

append_file( 'debug', "start\n" );

        Thx alot, this helped!

        What is this for?

        unless (open F, "-|") {
  open STDERR, ">&=1";
}
