Be careful with this one. The documentation for it makes it sound like it's a good idea to set this but doing so turns buffering OFF, not ON. Normally you leave this alone, even for pipes and sockets; Perl does the right thing in almost every case.

See:
perldoc perlvar (search for $|)
perldoc FileHandle
