Re^3: Letter by letter

Ah, in that case, I think you were mostly on the right track except with the buffering thing and the end case for the for loop.

$| = 1;
foreach my $letter (split '', $string) {
    print $letter;
    sleep 1;
}

Somewhat obscure, but I think the following is cute: `sleep($\|=print) for split '', $string;` [download] `print` returns 1 if it's successful. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
