$OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I thought $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH was a synonym for $|, but apparently not.
(See below.)  What am I missing?

Note that I hit ^D after the print bye line.

  jeff@krypton:canset_20040123-1838 $ perl -w
  use strict; 
  $OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH=1;
  print "hi";
  sleep 1;
  print " bye\n";
  Global symbol "$OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH" requires explicit package name at - line 2.
  Execution of - aborted due to compilation errors.
  jeff@krypton:canset_20040123-1838 $ perl -w
  use strict; 
  $|=1;
  print "hi";
  sleep 1;
  print " bye\n";
  hi bye
