in reply to Re: The print is output later after die
in thread The print is output later after die

*STDOUT->autoflush;

My goto answer would have been $|++.
I'm thinking it's a case of "six of one; half-a-dozen of the other".
Is there a difference ?

Cheers,
Rob

    $| = 1; affects the currently selected handle. This is the handle print, printf and say use if you don't provide one., and it defaults to STDOUT.

    In fact, ->autoflush changes the currently selected handle to the invocant, sets $|, then restores the originally selected handle.

    Hello syphilis,

    differences? perlvar says that $|++ flush right away and after every write or print on the currently selected output channel while *STDOUT->autoflush only affect STDOUT your example instead any select -ed FH and so also STDERR in case of warn or die

    See IO::Handle. There's no difference, just readability :-)

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      There's a difference. $| = 1; is equivalent to select()->autoflush(), not STDOUT->autoflush().
