Not quite. <pedant_mode> That variable activates autoflush, which isn't
quite the same as unbuffered output, on the currently selected
filehandle, which may not actually be STDOUT (see 'perldoc perlvar').
</pedant_mode>
Also, it is usually better to localise the use of such special
variables. For example:
print "Doing stuff ";
for (1..20) {
local $| = 1;
select undef, undef, undef, 0.5;
print ".";
}
print "\n";
Also, consider a more 'sophisticated' alternative to ".", that I
sometimes use.
print "Doing some more stuff ";
my $i = 0;
for (1..20) {
local $| = 1;
select undef, undef, undef, 0.5;
print "\b" . qw{| / - \\}[$i++ % 4]; } print "\b \n";
