The program will keep running, but at some point, if the program is writing bytes to the standard output stream, the buffer for that stream will fill up. At that point, the program will block doing a write until the buffer has been depleted and output can resume. Otherwise, some output would be lost. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
