Quotes. These warnings were later fixed in favour of always quoting,
er... what was it? anyway, barewords on the left of "=>" and as hash
index between "{" and "}". MacPerl is rather old, older than that fix,

Set $| to true. This makes the currently selected filehandle, STDOUT by

I usually emit my progress indicator through STDERR, which is unbuffered
by default.
