Re: Perl and 7zip and backticks

I've tried various flushing techniques with no success.

This was discussed earlier in the week and various solutions were suggested there. Did you try those? What were the outcomes? In what way(s) did they fail to meet your requirements?

Hi Hippo Using the other solutions as per http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1155885 7zip still won't output each line it's zipping in real time. It could be a limitation of 7zip and how it works. Browser suggests that 7zip sends status updates via STDERR you listed an example with STDERR which I did try briefly but couldn't get it to work correctly either, I'll revisit your example if it is correct that 7zip outputs in realtime via STDERR.
