Re: output caught in memory

[Wookie]

The easiest way to make sure the write occurs is to write it in two lines - and set your write buffers to instant write.

So try this:

$|=1; # $| is undef by default - which means use buffering - define it
+ as 1 - and it instantly writes.
print FILE scalar localtime;
print FILE " ## Exit\n";
close FILE;

Alternatively, you can try to build the entire entry into a variable first - then write it. So:

$close = localtime;
print FILE "$close ## Exit\n";
close FILE;

I hope this helps :).

Update: Remove quotes around scalar localtime in first code block (thanks MZSanford)
