I couldn't find if this has been raised yet for perl 5.8.0 on linux RedHat 8.0

It appears that the first 24 byte characters do not print to STDOUT unless you flush the buffer with a newline.

perl -e 'print "123456789 ABCDEFGHI abcdefghi"' # efghi

perl -e 'print "123456789 ABCDEFGHI abcdefghi\n"' # 123456789 ABCDEFGHI abcdefghi

I dont get this behaviour on perl 5.6.1

I don't get this behaviour on my Redhat 8.0 installation of Perl 5.8.0

6​:27am {2} pcp02404936pcs​:/home/webdragon>$ perl -e 'print "123456789 ABCDEFGHI abcdefghi"' 123456789 ABCDEFGHI abcdefghi6​:34am {3} pcp02404936pcs​:/home/webdragon>$

Then again\, (not that it should matter) I've got all the installed modules updated with their most recent CPAN counterparts.

I've also ran up2date on everything I do have installed

Are you doing something differently?

Thanks for letting me know\, interesting thing is that this occurs on 4 machines\, 2 machines are kick start images of 1 other. They are all Compac PIV's. Already had a problem with the architecture and cheap video cards having something to do with a memory leakage issue in Gnome terminal.

I will make sure everythings up to date\, and check to see if its the same RPM as yours\, might install perl 5.8.0 from source aswell. STDOUT from CGI scripts works ok.

Ok\, I did a source installation of perl 5.8.0 and still had the same problem\, when I ssh'ed into the machine the command line environment gets set up correctly and printing to STDOUT works ok. This shows that it is an command line problem rather than a perl problem.

I had a little search on google and found this posting​: Terminal 'newline' problem with Redhat 8.0 https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/redhat-list/2002-December/162174.html

It is definately the prompt printing over your STDOUT print statement\, whether your printing from perl\, bash\, C etc.

e.g. echo -n "1234567890 ABCDEFGHIJ acbdefghij" [hramwd@​biodev3 hramwd]$ defghij

Havent found a fix yet.

Not a Perl problem\, a RedHat shell problem. I'm marking the problem ticket as resolved.
