Does this work with non-Netscape browsers, such as IE? I was going to
suggest this multipart MIME trick, but I thought I read in the CGI.pm
book that server push only worked with Netscape browsers.

Actually, It doesn't work at all anymore.  I just tested it with 
Netscape and IE.  Bummer.  I wrote the code back in 1998 or 1999... I 
guess that would have been Netscape 3.0 and IE 4.  Browser technology 
peaked with lynx.  At least you can expect the same results with just 
about every version ever written.
