Hello all,

I have a page that takes a considerable amount of time to run and then
return results to the browser, I am caching the information so
subsequent requests return the results much quicker.  My question is two
fold:

1. How can I allow the browser to display something while the process is
running to let the user know the server is working and prevent a timeout
in by the browser. (interim page)

2. I need the above method/technique to be overridden when dealing with
cached results.

My idea to date is writing the Embperl data (%fdat,%udat) to disk and
then passing the temp filename to a spawned (detached) process, but I am
not even 100% sure how do that since I am not sure at what stage of the
processing I am allowed to spawn a process and still return content to
the browser.

At the very least I would like to know what this is called as far as the
page transaction process goes under mod_perl so I can better understand
what some other options might be.
