Hi folks!

I am running BSDi 2.0 with patches, Apache 0.8.11 (will soon move to 
0.8.14) and am trying to implement server-push.  I have written a 
perl script to do the push, but what happens is this:

Lets say I have a five part animation that I want to do.  I will pause
5 seconds between each cell.  When I browse the animation page, the
socket stays open for 25 seconds, but only seems to transfer the cells
at the end of that time, as if the socket is buffered, or something
like that.  I have tried to set $| to 1 for STDOUT, but it doesn't
help.

Perhaps I am doing something else wrong, but am getting fed up with it.
Does anyone have suggestions as to where I could go for a working perl
script to do server push?  Thanks!
