This seems similar to a problem with MacPerl 5 and Alpha integration:

Unless you force macperl into the debugger (i bet the immediate flush
would work as well), the output of the perl script is not sent to the
console window (and therefore not returned to alpha).

This seems to be a bug introduced in MacPerl 5, as it works perfectly
under macperl 4.x
