Thanks Jay and Tom! I added this little bit to my script:
select (CHILD);
$| = 1;
select (STDOUT);
and it worked just as I expected it to. It's interesting, though,
that I've been working with sockets a bunch through IO::Socket and my
print statements seem to print to the socket stream immediately. Is a
good practice to set the autoflush to one for socket filehandles as
well?
Thanks again,
Jen
That depends; try 'perldoc IO::Socket' and see what pops up. The
version I currently have installed says in big letters:
NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
As of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on
by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.

Yours may say something different. It's usually a good idea to read
the perldoc for any module you use.
