Timeout in large CGI program

Hi this is my small problem

I have a perl program making statistics. This program is working fine
but is working for many minutes.

When I lunch it from command line everything is OK, but when I try to
run it in Apache after about 5 minutes program is going down.

I changed Timeout value for 900 sec (300 is default) but it has not effect

This apears in log of apache
[Tue Apr 13 09:11:08 2004] [error] (70007)The timeout specified has
expired: core_output_filter: Error reading from bucket.

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure why changing the timeout has no effect, but in general,
you can't count on waiting very long periods for a CGI script. If the
server doesn't time out, the browser will.

At minimum, you should have your browser write something to the client
while
it is processing (just a space plus a flush would probably do). Even
better, have your long-lived process write to a file and refresh to
that file after it is done.
