Hello, I am using POE::Component::IRC for my IRC bot. I have written a script using File::Tail to print a log file in real-time. The script works fine as a separate script but when I add this script into my IRC bot it causes it to lock up and ping out. I'm assuming It's a buffer issue. I've tried setting $| = 1; and I tried changing the while loop to an if loop like in the POE cookbook so it looked like this:

sub outputlog {
  if ($switch == 1) {
  sleep 3;
  print "test";
  outputlog->();
  }
}

But no matter what I try even to do a basic loop like above it causes the bot to freeze and ping out. Anyone have any insight on how to make an infinite loop unbuffered in POE?
