[MacPerl] Console buffer problem?

["Brian L. Matthews" <blm@halcyon.com>]

Consider the following script:

#!perl
print "Going to sleep...\n";
sleep 10;
print "The sleeper has awoken!\n";

If I run this in a MacPerl that's been running, it works as expected--I get
the first line of output, it sits there 10 seconds, then I get the second
line of output. However, if I run it in a freshly launched MacPerl, the
console window doesn't open and display output until the script has
finished.

This is with the 68k regular application version of 5.1.5r4, on an 840AV
running system 7.5.5.
