CGI::Response won't support this until v0.04 or 0.05 (currently at 
0.021).  To do it yourself,
	-fork
	-exit the parent
	-close STDOUT, STDERR, STDIN _from the child_
If this isn't working, send me info on which server you're using.

The libwww list might not be the best place to discuss this, since there 
is also a Response.pm module in it.
