Hello perl monks,

I'm searching and searching for a solution to this problem but I have a feeling that I'm not searching in the right direction.

Context: Windows XP/wamp

In a web page, I'm launching a series of scripts. Before launching the scripts, there is a variable "waiting time", typically 10 hours.

The problem is that even before the end of the waiting time, the web server quits with a timeout: (70007)The timeout specified has expired: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read()

I tried to do the following:

my $procLaunchAnalyze = Proc::Background->new("c:/strawberry/perl/bin/perl.exe scripts/example.pl $my_seconds");

In example.pl, I have the following sleep:

#wait the desired number of seconds
sleep $my_seconds;

Is there any way I can perform this without encountering the timeout?

Thanks a lot for your help,

I.
