categorized question QandAEditors <p> I have a loop which processes a very large list of items. For each item it processes, it prints a dot to stdout (the console). However, instead of watching my "line of dots" growing until the last item is done, all of the items get processed and <i>then</i> I see all the dots appearing at once. Is there an equivalent to C's flush() function for Perl ? <p> 2661 7
