You have a couple of options...
For data that I can send a refresh using GET, I have created a CGI script
that just generates a "Please wait..." message, and then redirects to the
GET. If you can ensure that your target script does not do any output
until close to the end, this will leave the "Please wait..." script on the
screen.
Another option would be to use a server push script. Look for the "Server
Push" section in the CGI perldoc page. I have only "played" with this
option.
Unfortunately, due to policy, I cannot release any code :(

PM Subject: [cgiapp] How to create a
"Please Wait....." display
on the browser
Hello there,
I have a simple perl program which reads somany log files and count the
number of logs being accessed by the end user but this program takes more
time like more than 1 mt and i want to pop up a small window just letting
know the end user that "Please wait, logs are processing...".
How do i do that in perl. My perl version is 5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
