Hi there,

I would like to use $io->autoflush(1)from IO::Handle. Unfortunately it looks like in perl v5.10.0 it is not included in the core module. It works fine with version 5.16.2.

Therefore I have 2 questions and hopefully you can help me.

1) Which perl version did add autoflush to the default core module?

2) How can I implement it that it is activated when the method is there. Something like this … 

 
if (v.5.x.x. or higher)
}
$io->autoflush(1);
}

For any other ideas how I can solve that it works with 5.10.0 and all newer versions I would be very happy - thanks.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards

Doug EDIT:

Sorry ... it looks like that it works when I add use IO::Handle;.

It is not necessary with version 5.16.2 but required for 5.10.0 ?!

Any idea why the different behaviour?
