Yes it does. It prints
"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................"
after 5 minutes or so.
STDOUT is buffered, meaning it'll wait until a "\n" to print. To turn
buffering OFF, use
$| = 1;
at the beginning of your program.
