     One way to do this would be with a non-parsed-header script.  You 
     send with the output a full header, and a brief message.  When the 
     query is done, you send the rest of the message, and finish off the 
     output.  Look for nph CGI scripts for more info on this.

All,
     
Sometimes I have to execute a long runnig Sybase stored proc (2-5 mins) via 
SybPerl via cgi scripting.
     
Is there a way to send a temporary response back to an HTML browser?
     
Example:
     
1. User requests a script to be run the execsutes a sybase query.
2. The script sends back to the browser a response stating that the sybase 
query is being executed.
3. The script sends back to the browser the results set of the sybase query.
     
Does anyone know if this can be accomplished and if so, how?
     
Thanks for your support!
