AFAICT, there's no way to do that. The launched C program won't inherit any buffering setting. The problem is easily solved if you've got the C code and can insert a single call to 'setvbuf'. Or simply inline the code via Perl's Inline::C. Otherwise, you'll have to use the suggested 'Expect' module so the C program thinks it's talking to a terminal rather than through a pipe. -- Charles DeRykus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
