Netcat is reading input in canonical mode. The main upshot is: it
waits for a newline before presenting the input to the program.
Try this:
perl -wle 'print while ($_ = getc())'
And type some characters (and press ENTER).
Now try the same with this (mind you, getting out of -icanon mode may
be difficult on some systems):
stty -icanon; perl -wle 'print while ($_ = getc())'
