This means the programmer wishes that the buffer will be flushed after
every write, or print.
Normally (i.e. $| = 0), the computer stores output in a buffer, which
is processed, flushed, after its full. Since this might cause messages
to not appear at due time ("suffering from buffering"), you may want,
or need, to set the autoflush special variable ($|) to true (in Perl,
you assign a true value, 1 in this case, to it).

This isn't really helping, sorry.
