+=head1 NAME
+
+CGI::Push - Simple Interface to Server Push
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use CGI::Push qw(:standard);
+
+ do_push(-next_page=>\&next_page,
+ -last_page=>\&last_page,
+ -delay=>0.5);
+
+ sub next_page {
+ my($q,$counter) = @_;
+ return undef if $counter >= 10;
+ return start_html('Test'),
+ h1('Visible'),"\n",
+ "This page has been called ", strong($counter)," times",
+ end_html();
+ }
+
+ sub last_page {
+ my($q,$counter) = @_;
+ return start_html('Done'),
+ h1('Finished'),
+ strong($counter - 1),' iterations.',
+ end_html;
+ }
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+CGI::Push is a subclass of the CGI object created by CGI.pm. It is
+specialized for server push operations, which allow you to create
+animated pages whose content changes at regular intervals.
+
+You provide CGI::Push with a pointer to a subroutine that will draw
+one page. Every time your subroutine is called, it generates a new
+page. The contents of the page will be transmitted to the browser
+in such a way that it will replace what was there beforehand. The
+technique will work with HTML pages as well as with graphics files,
+allowing you to create animated GIFs.
+
+Only Netscape Navigator supports server push. Internet Explorer
+browsers do not.
+
+=head1 USING CGI::Push
+
+CGI::Push adds one new method to the standard CGI suite, do_push().
+When you call this method, you pass it a reference to a subroutine
+that is responsible for drawing each new page, an interval delay, and
+an optional subroutine for drawing the last page. Other optional
+parameters include most of those recognized by the CGI header()
+method.
+
+You may call do_push() in the object oriented manner or not, as you
+prefer:
+
+ use CGI::Push;
+ $q = new CGI::Push;
+ $q->do_push(-next_page=>\&draw_a_page);
+
+ -or-
+
+ use CGI::Push qw(:standard);
+ do_push(-next_page=>\&draw_a_page);
+
+Parameters are as follows:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item -next_page
+
+ do_push(-next_page=>\&my_draw_routine);
+
+This required parameter points to a reference to a subroutine responsible for
+drawing each new page. The subroutine should expect two parameters
+consisting of the CGI object and a counter indicating the number
+of times the subroutine has been called. It should return the
+contents of the page as an B<array> of one or more items to print.
+It can return a false value (or an empty array) in order to abort the
+redrawing loop and print out the final page (if any)
+
+ sub my_draw_routine {
+ my($q,$counter) = @_;
+ return undef if $counter > 100;
+ return start_html('testing'),
+ h1('testing'),
+ "This page called $counter times";
+ }
+
+You are of course free to refer to create and use global variables
+within your draw routine in order to achieve special effects.
+
+=item -last_page
+
+This optional parameter points to a reference to the subroutine
+responsible for drawing the last page of the series. It is called
+after the -next_page routine returns a false value. The subroutine
+itself should have exactly the same calling conventions as the
+-next_page routine.
+
+=item -type
+
+This optional parameter indicates the content type of each page. It
+defaults to "text/html". Normally the module assumes that each page
+is of a homogenous MIME type. However if you provide either of the
+magic values "heterogeneous" or "dynamic" (the latter provided for the
+convenience of those who hate long parameter names), you can specify
+the MIME type -- and other header fields -- on a per-page basis. See
+"heterogeneous pages" for more details.
+
+=item -delay
+
+This indicates the delay, in seconds, between frames. Smaller delays
+refresh the page faster. Fractional values are allowed.
+
+B<If not specified, -delay will default to 1 second>
+
+=item -cookie, -target, -expires, -nph
+
+These have the same meaning as the like-named parameters in
+CGI::header().
+
+If not specified, -nph will default to 1 (as needed for many servers, see below).
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Heterogeneous Pages
+
+Ordinarily all pages displayed by CGI::Push share a common MIME type.
+However by providing a value of "heterogeneous" or "dynamic" in the
+do_push() -type parameter, you can specify the MIME type of each page
+on a case-by-case basis.
+
+If you use this option, you will be responsible for producing the
+HTTP header for each page. Simply modify your draw routine to
+look like this:
+
+ sub my_draw_routine {
+ my($q,$counter) = @_;
+ return header('text/html'), # note we're producing the header here
+ start_html('testing'),
+ h1('testing'),
+ "This page called $counter times";
+ }
+
+You can add any header fields that you like, but some (cookies and
+status fields included) may not be interpreted by the browser. One
+interesting effect is to display a series of pages, then, after the
+last page, to redirect the browser to a new URL. Because redirect()
+does b<not> work, the easiest way is with a -refresh header field,
+as shown below:
+
+ sub my_draw_routine {
+ my($q,$counter) = @_;
+ return undef if $counter > 10;
+ return header('text/html'), # note we're producing the header here
+ start_html('testing'),
+ h1('testing'),
+ "This page called $counter times";
+ }
+
+ sub my_last_page {
+ return header(-refresh=>'5; URL=http://somewhere.else/finished.html',
+ -type=>'text/html'),
+ start_html('Moved'),
+ h1('This is the last page'),
+ 'Goodbye!'
+ hr,
+ end_html;
+ }
+
+=head2 Changing the Page Delay on the Fly
+
+If you would like to control the delay between pages on a page-by-page
+basis, call push_delay() from within your draw routine. push_delay()
+takes a single numeric argument representing the number of seconds you
+wish to delay after the current page is displayed and before
+displaying the next one. The delay may be fractional. Without
+parameters, push_delay() just returns the current delay.
+
+=head1 INSTALLING CGI::Push SCRIPTS
+
+Server push scripts must be installed as no-parsed-header (NPH)
+scripts in order to work correctly on many servers. On Unix systems,
+this is most often accomplished by prefixing the script's name with "nph-".
+Recognition of NPH scripts happens automatically with WebSTAR and
+Microsoft IIS. Users of other servers should see their documentation
+for help.
+
+Apache web server from version 1.3b2 on does not need server
+push scripts installed as NPH scripts: the -nph parameter to do_push()
+may be set to a false value to disable the extra headers needed by an
+NPH script.
