I see you've been sent an incredibly detailed response using a
multipart solution, which probably works fine.
However, a different way of tackling this would be to use POE to
update the page rather than fighting with timeout issues. If there is
just one lot of modelling output shared by all users (IOW they don't
provide parameters to it), maybe you could have the model constantly
refreshing.
Have a look on CPAN for POE. I reckon it could be a good fit.

Hi everybody,
I'm making a nice little webapp in Catalyst: metheorology models
run via
crontab and catalyst shows the data and graphs that they produce. Im
very
happy how it's working so far.
Now I have been asked if I could make a "Run the model now"
button, that
would run a script (the model) and show it's output in a popup window.
The process may run for about 15 minutes, so I have to handle ,
somehow,
the browser timing out because of lack of output. I thought about
making the
script output to a tmp file and using ajax to query that file.
What is the best way to do that? Is there a nice, magical CPAN
module out
there? :)
Thanks in advance,
-- Diego
