Apache buffering CGI Prints

[dinasour]

Hello

Does Apache Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) buffer the CGI prints?

I am calling a perl script from a PHP server side script. In the Perl Script I have a bunch of prints and sleeps. Problem is that the browser waits for the Perl Script to complete to display the prints. The prints are intented to give the user a live status of whats going on. But browser waits till the script exits and then displays everything

I tried adding $|=1; but it did not help

I am using:
Perl:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

Apache:
Server version: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix)


Linux:
Fedora release 8

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use CGI qw(:standard); 
$|=1; 
my $r = CGI->new(); 
print header('text/html'); 
print start_html; 
$|=1; 
$r->print ("Processing ... <br>"); 
$|=1; 
$r->print ("Processing TWO ... <br>"); 
foreach $i (1..2) { 
sleep 10; 
$r->print ("Item .. $i <br>"); 
} 
$r->print ("DONE <br>"); 
print end_html;
