Devel::Autoflush - Set autoflush from the command line
version 0.06
perl -MDevel::Autoflush Makefile.PL
This module is a hack to set autoflush for STDOUT and STDERR from the command line or from PERL5OPT for code that needs it but doesn't have it.
PERL5OPT
This often happens when prompting:
# guess.pl print "Guess a number: "; my $n = <STDIN>;
As long as the output is going to a terminal, the prompt is flushed when STDIN is read. However, if the output is being piped, the print statement will not automatically be flushed, no prompt will be seen and the program will silently appear to hang while waiting for input. This might happen with 'tee':
$ perl guess.pl | tee capture.out
Use Devel::Autoflush to work around this:
$ perl -MDevel::Autoflush guess.pl | tee capture.out
Or set it in PERL5OPT:
$ export PERL5OPT=-MDevel::Autoflush $ perl guess.pl | tee capture.out
