Hi:
Thanks for the quick response. Since according to definition of line
buffering (see below), a buffer is flushed is after newlines, so writing
statements such as :
print "<p> This is a paragraph</p>\n"
in a CGI program will automatically flush the buffer right? Or it doesn't?
I wondering if perl will figure out that since STDOUT is not connected to a
terminal, it will still buffer it even though the print contains a newline.
Regards,
Ludwig
