Depends. If you are using IO::File or the "open my $fh, '>', $file" style of opening a file handle you can say $fh->autoflush(1); If you are still using the "open FH, '>', $file" style you will need to say select FH; $| = 1; select STDOUT; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
