Hi

I have a perl program called by my php script, which in turn is called
by the browser. Now, the perl program is called using exec, but takes
a long time to finish. So, till the time the perl script does not
finish its job, the browser does not show anything. I have messages
like "Dont close this window", but that does not show up till the
whole perl program finishes. Is there a way, I can somehow remedy
this, try to show a message on the browser - "Please while your data
processes" and then do the processing in the background?
