I'll take a swing at it, Shawn.

You need this at the top:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$|=1;                           # This unbuffers STDOUT

Then, assign a value for your separator:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
$sometext="SomeRandomString";   #this is the name of your Mime boundary


Give it a header:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
print "HTTP/1.0 200 Okay\n";    # mime-junk
print "Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace;boundary\=$sometext\n";
print "\n--$sometext\n";

now your junk:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
print "foo!";
sleep (5);
print "foo!";
sleep (5);
print "foo!";
. . . . . .

That should do it!  Anything you print out after that will come in 
bit by bit.

I wrote a perl "tail -f" that basically does this on a httpd logfile, 
so that an administrator can monitor a growing log from netscape.  
Need the source?
