...but - as it says in the synopsis of the module - "setvbuf is not available by default on Perls 5.8.0 and later". In other words, setvbuf doesn't work with perls that have been compiled with PerlIO.

Thanks. It's a shame it no longer works.
(I have to wonder about the real benefits of PerlIO. It seems to be an insanely complex, and yet woefully incomplete, re-implementation of stdio, that bypasses both vendor and platform specific optimisations, for not much gain.)
