Hello,

in http://perldoc.perl.org/perlfaq5.html I noticed what I think must be a typo:

under "How do I flush/unbuffer an output filehandle? Why must I do
this?" the first paragraph reads:

Perl does not support truly unbuffered output (except insofar as you
can syswrite(OUT, $char, 1) ), although it does support is "command
buffering", in which a physical write is performed after every output
command.

I think it should read:

Perl does not support truly unbuffered output (except insofar as you
can syswrite(OUT, $char, 1) ), although it does support "command
buffering", in which a physical write is performed after every output
command.

(remove "is" from just before "command buffering").

Thanks,

Stephen Alexander

That's an old version of the FAQ. The latest version is always at
http://faq.perl.org or in the github repo at
http://github.com/briandfoy/perlfaq/tree/master

Thanks though, :)
