This works for me, showing the results as they come, under Apache::Registry.
my $r = shift;
$r->content_type('text/html');
$r->send_http_header;
...
$|=1;
if (open (FILE, "/usr/sbin/traceroute $host 2>&1 |")) {
print while <FILE>;
close FILE;
}
I think there's a Net::Traceroute on CPAN, might want to check that out to
avoid the fork.
