Like it was mentioned above, is it possible that your output is buffered? Try adding $| = 1 to the top of your script, see if that helps?

Aha! The solution! Now, what did that do??? Was I not getting enough input into the buffer for the file write to happen; if so, how much is the buffer usually? Did the $\| change the size of the buffer? Thanks for the quick fix!!	[reply]

AFAIK, the buffer size varies by platform, and by what's the destination. For STDOUT to the terminal, the buffer is usually around 256 bytes, I think. For files, it's probably several K, at least. All `$\|` does it set the buffer to autoflush - see perlvar for details. -- zigdon	[reply] [d/l]
