Are you thinking about $Document->send() and/or $Document->hot(1)?

Another possibility, perhaps (untested):
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY>
<other tags you may want to use>
[mvasp]
<%
HTML "This will take awhile, please be patient...";
$Document->send(); # flush buffer
$Document->hot(1); # send stuff as soon as it's written
# some perl task that takes awhile
# if there are some points in the process you can update the
# user status, so much the better. E.g.:
# foreach (@some_array) {
# HTML " ."; # show another period as a progress indicator
# some code that processes each item
# }
HTML "<br>All done, thank you for waiting.";
%>
[/mvasp]
</BODY>
</HTML>
