Devel::Autoflush(3)   User Contributed Perl Documentation  Devel::Autoflush(3)

NAME
       Devel::Autoflush - Set autoflush from the command line

VERSION
       This documentation describes version 0.05.

SYNOPSIS
	 perl -MDevel::Autoflush Makefile.PL

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       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
