Well, in that case you could simply append the new output to a static 
file every 10 seconds, or whenever there is new output.  That way, you 
just need to refresh the static file in your browser to see updates... 
Given what I understand of your situation, that's how I'd do it.

A constantly running CGI app is probably not the best idea, given 
timeouts and other such constraints you might run into.
