The script can be also be executed from the command line. It can take anywhere
between 2 to 3 hrs to complete.
So does this mean that I cannot get it to run via browser ?
What about parsing the call via LWP ? If the browser times out would the LWP
url called still run anyway ?

Not sure if this is still an issue, but I doubt you'd get a web server/browser combination to control a script that runs for 2-3 hrs. What you'd be better of doing is something like modifying the script to output to a plain text file (for example) and then initiate it in the background from a web-based page. The returned page from the initiating page then polls the server every 5, 10, or whatever minutes to see if it has finished and displays any results. Did that make any sense? Not sure if this will do what you want....
