Is this any help? http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestIO.html#C_rflush_
I'm not sure off hand if $r->print() and print behave differently with regards to flushing. There's a thread in the archive talking about this stuff. (http://marc.info/?t=112557954800001&r=1&w=2) but it doesn't seem to offer any resolution. It does note that if you're running output filters they could potentially break flushing.

Maybe people from this list can help me. I upgraded my server from an old distro(apache 1.3+mod_perl 1.x) to a centos5(apache 2.2 + mod_perl 2.x). It seems that $|=1; is not doing what it should do. The code : #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; print "---($|)"; local $|=1; print "---($|)"; print "1....2..."; sleep 5; print "3....4..."; print "---($|)"; The output : <wait 5 seconds>---(0)---(1)1....2...3....4...---(1) I should be getting : ---(0)---(1)1....2...<wait 5 seconds>3....4...---(1) Server : - CentOS release 5 (Final) - mod_perl-2.0.2-6.3.el5 - httpd-2.2.3-7.el5.centos Conf: <Directory /some/directory> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::RegistryPrefork Options +ExecCGI PerlOptions +ParseHeaders Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI </Directory> Any hints ? Thanx in advance. FreiZz
