Hi Monks I think this question is to do with buffering but I need some pointers because the output is not as I expected.

When I run 

$| = 1;




my $Qcount = 10;
my $Qstart = 0;
my $Qint   = 3;



my @StorageArray;

sub incStart {

    for ( $x = $_[0] ; $x < $_[1] ; $x++ ) {

        if ( ( $x % $_[2] ) == 0 ) {
            print $x . "\n";
            push (@StorageArray, $x);
        }
    }
}

print "test " . incStart( $Qstart, $Qcount, $Qint ) . "\n";

I expected the output 

test0
3
6
9

Instead I get 

0
3
6
9
test

I've set the output bufffer to 1 so why dont I get the output I want? There must be something else I dont understand involved. What is it please?
