Apparently it's an output buffering issue. If you flush output, it works: $ perl -e 'while(1){print"a";sleep 1}' ^C $ perl -e '$|=1;while(1){print"a";sleep 1}' aaaaaaa^C $ So, setting $| to 1 seems to fix the problem... -- Chris Devers Thanks Chris, Forcing the flush after print solves the problem.
