My suggestion would be to keep your web server doing something while you're processing. A few times, I have had to do something like that. What I did is to turn off Output Buffering ($| = 1;), and then start up a thread that will print "Processing..." and then print a "." every 5 seconds or something. Then you do your real work in the master thread, and kill the other thread once you're done. That has 2 benefits: A) it lets your user know something is still going on, and B) since the web server (IIS in your case) has something to send to the client, it will not timeout. Anyways, this is just a suggestion, and might be a bit hard, but if you want to try it, I suggest you read up on ithreads and web page refresh techniques. Bugzilla uses this technique when querying bug reports (the query can take a long time), so you might want to look at their code too (http://www.bugzilla.org/) Good luck, J-S _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
