I don't think so.  What you show above is a multipart message body, 
which is not the same (and not the same level).
What you are looking for is a header like
Transfer-encoding: chunked

And this chunked transfer encoding happens last in the chain. It is just 
a way of sending the data to the browser in smaller pieces, like one 
would do for example to send a whole multi-megabyte video file.


This link may help :

and this
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.41

Also search Google for "mod_perl +chunked"

The first item in the list contains a phrase :
"mod_perl can transparently generate chunked encoding on recent versions 
of Apache"

I personally don't know how, but it sounds intriguing enough to look 
further into it.
Maybe one of the gurus on this list knows more about it, and can give a 
better opinion than mine as to whether this might help you.
