is there some buffering or pausing going on which affects the
length=6k case?  I get a content-length for lengths up to 32K or so.

---------anylength.pl---------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

BEGIN
{
  use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
}

use strict;

use CGI;

my $q = new CGI;
my $offset = $q->param('length');
my $i;

if (!$offset)
{
  die "Yo!  I need an offset!";
}

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$i = 0;
while ($offset > 0)
{
  if (($i % 50) eq 0)
  {
    print "\n";
  }
  else
  {
    print "1";
  }
  ++$i;
  --$offset;
}
