[MacPerl-WebCGI] Re: how to prevent time-out with slow output stream

I've heard this before, and I recall something on the MacPerl site 
mentioning it too.  However, I haven't seen all that much about it 
and I was wondering if there was some more info somewhere.  Maybe a 
work-around with a master program directing others when they're free? 
Or a "status" command that would return whether or not another 
program is running?  Or other ways that I haven't thought of? =)

Unix Perl, of course, doesn't have this problem.  Is the problem 
solely because of the Mac's limited threading?  Or is this something 
that could be fixed in a future version of MacPerl?

Thanks!
--Ian
