Sending a "status"
am 17.08.2007 15:48:00 von Bill HUsing $|++ I have learned that I can "flush" the print buffer to a
browser while perl is doing things, instead of sending all the html
when it is done. Is there any drawbacks to using this in the real
world that any of you may have encountered?
Basically what I would be doing is sending a status to a client while
the perl scripts are working such as (after sending the html headers
and other stuff):
Saving your data...
Processing your data...
Generating completed pdf...
Complete.
etc...
and then sending the ending html data.
