My handler looks this:

package My::Content;
use Apache2::RequestRec ();
use Apache2::RequestIO ();
use Apache2::Const -compile=>qw(OK);

sub handler {
  my $r=shift;
  $r->content_type( 'text/html' );

  for( my $i=0; $i<10; $i++ ) {
    $r->print( time."\n" );
    $r->rflush;
    sleep 1;
  }
  $r->print( "\n" );
  return Apache2::Const::OK;
}

and here is what it sends every second one line as expected:
