I copied and ran without the $|=1 and it displays the text What
is your name? and I enter na d it completes.
I tried both from the cmd.exe and a kornshell and both wroked
the same way.
Might it have something to do with Eclipse?
If you have any problems or questions, please let me know.
Thanks.
Wags ;)

Subject: More Info About $| = 1;
Hi,
I'm a C programmer teaching myself Perl. I'm working on Windows XP using
ActivePerl and Eclipse (EPIC).
I've got a question about $| = 1;
If I run the following program:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "What is your name? ";
my $name = <STDIN>;
chomp $name;
print "Hello, $name!\n";
the command line does nothing until I enter some text, at which point
the program runs and outputs the following:
Test
What is your name? Hello, Test!
What I don't get is why the print statement doesn't execute?
If I add $| = 1; at the top of the program this fixes the problem and
the program runs as expected.
Could someone explain what's going on here, or point me to an
explanation.
Cheers,
Chris
