Re^2: Perl stdout timing/formatting

This seemed to work really well, thank you. It took me a while to figure out how to Google that though. :P So now I have a very basic understanding of what that is and why I would put it in my script, but I still have one question; does it only need to be put at the beginning of my script and only once? I currently have it at the start of every while(1) so that it 'flushes' before each part of the script runs. Is that the right thing to do or is it just redundant?

Thank you for the help!
