Brad,

Looks like you're "suffering from buffering".

Try turning buffering off by adding the following line before your print statement:

$|++;

Or, if you want to follow the lead of The Damian in Perl Best Practices, you can do:

$| = 1;

This whole discussion gives me nasty flashbacks to a time when I couldn't have been more wrong. At that point I switched from $| = 1; to $|++;.

I've mostly gotten over it... :)

Cheers,

Brent
