Coffee == Nirvana

Avoiding Browser timeouts
words of wisdom from klooloola There must be a better way to avoid browser timeouts while your CGI is waiting for scripts to finish but here is what i found. it just sets the alarm signal which when called outputs a html comment to keep the browser happy. select(STDOUT); $| = 1; # make unbuffered alarm(2); $SIG{“ALRM”} = sub {print “\n”;alarm (2);}; # do a lot of waiting for other scripts to finish here ex $results =`slowprogram`; # when done $SIG{“ALRM”}=”IGNORE”; print $results;
