In the old days of the bourne shell (rather than bourne again shell) you could execute scripts with "sh -x" and it would show you the commands and arguments as it executed them. I don't know if this still exists in bash. I don't know if sh comes with SuSE, on red hat it is just a link to bash.

Output to STDOUT is buffered. In perl, a LF forces the buffer to clear, so it prints immediately. That's why the third version works the way it does. The buffer also outputs when it gets full. That's why the first one does what it does; it is printing fast enough to fill the buffer quickly.
