what version libwwperl is used?
I tried with dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.30.0, dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.40.0 and dev-perl/libwww-perl-6.50.0. Perl version is dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1.
Hmm, gimme a sec. > IO::File why? I strongly believe, that you should use IO::Handle instead, and i think all will work. AFAIK IO::File does not implement flush method. Have fun :)
libwww-perl use flush like `STDERR->flush;`
