He he... you forgot to add a disclaimer to exclude *me* from the contest :-)

Basically server push using MacPerl is trivial:

 - Get the latest CGI glue (February, I think)
 - Get a recent enough version of WebStar (one that supports server push)
 - Make sure your script is called as an ACGI, not a CGI.
 - The script is identical to what you would use on other platforms, *except*
   that you have to indicate *explicitly* when you would like the push to
   happen. This is done by reading one line from STDIN (weird, isn't it?).

Thus, define a subroutine:

sub Push {
   local($ignore);

   $ignore = <STDIN>;
}

print ".... whatever ....";
&Push();

print ".... blah blah ....";
&Push();
