Mark, Thanks for your suggestion. I set the output buffer to Off, and it is displaying my html status bar and it seems to be processing in the background. But, I want to display my results page after processing. It seems that the status page does not "go away" even after processing is done. I have added the print out of data after the processing steps in my code. My data sets are sometimes large and small. During the smaller data sets, the processed data would be displayed on the same page as the status bar. The larger data sets, it seems it would always stay on the status bar screen, without displaying any processed data.
Any thoughts on this.

Put $|++; in your program before sending any output and you can then print html to the screen. That being said, I've created a javascript library that puts a graphical status bar on the screen, and the percentage, overlay text, and color can be set by a perl program as it running, and at the end, it disappears so as not to interfere with the output. It's useful for long-running programs.
