> close LOG;

Hm ... I already mentioned $|

https://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar#$OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH

Though the documentation says

> forces a flush right away and after every write or print on the currently selected output channel.

so, this means one has to select LOG before using it???°

IO::Handle mentions a method autoflush

BUT from my experience are opened handles per default unbuffered???

Or are they only line-buffered, and the OP forgot the trailing "\n"?

°) and after some digging I found this in the FAQ

{
    my $previous_default = select(STDOUT);  # save previous default
    $|++;                                   # autoflush STDOUT
    select(STDERR);
    $|++;                                   # autoflush STDERR, to be 
+sure
    select($previous_default);              # restore previous default
}
