I've to deal with threading in perl to handle the following situation: 1. a cgi script excutes a job which will take a long time to finish. Instead of setting a high timeout, I'm planning to implement threading feature in perl. So when the CGI fires up the script, I would like to create a thread and send the response to the browser saying that 1. process has began and user can quit and check back after some time. > or keep the browser sit there and I'll show a different page with info > process has finished after some time > > Does anyone have any experience handle this sort of situation
