Perl ImageMagick question

[kiddrew]

Hey guys,
First time posting. I appreciate all the help provided here.

I'm using ImageMagick to convert a postscript file to gif and saving the file on the server. ImageMagick is called by system() in a perl servlet from a Java applet. Problem is, the call is made as the page is being destroyed, and the next page loads faster than the gif finishes converting and it always gives me the older version of the gif. Does anyone have any suggestions to either slow perl down or lock on the child process?
