    I feel so stupid. Posting to Majordomo address, Ugh!

    Anyway here is what I meant to send to the list, and not to the
    subscription bot:

    Sounds right. I have it as:

    $| = 1;
    (or any non-zero value)
    This should unbuffer your script's output. Without this, your output to
    STDOUT is buffered and only sent when a certain block size is reached,
    or when the script exits with a less than full buffer.
