I believe IE has a hard-coded timeout limit, nothing you can do about it. You could try to circumvent it by having your script output something (anything) at a regular interval. But that may not be possible if your php script itself is locked up waiting for the perl script. > I've searched on the net and I've found some PHP > functions, like set_time_limit, but all of them > DON'T consider external time, like I/O time > or a system call time.
