Hello Rodger,
Thanks for the advice. I'm concerned that this sounds like a lot of
search-and-replace for my application. I wonder if there is a cleaner
method that simply toggles off buffering?
Anyone has any ideas on this?

If I am not mistaken, modperl tends to cache all output until the script

print a period (.) back to the browser every second, what do I need to
do? I tried $| but it does not work.
I fought with this for a while, too. You can use the 'bucket brigade'
technique. I'm a bit green, so someone with more experience could expound more.
Here's a snippet:
sub send_response_body
{
my ( $r, $data ) = @_;
my $bb = APR::Brigade->new ( $r->pool,
$r->connection->bucket_alloc );
my $b = APR::Bucket->new ( $data );
$bb->insert_tail ($b);
$r->output_filters->fflush ( $bb );
$bb->destroy;
}
Hope this helps.
