See other considerations about the benefits and problems of this in that thread. Here's the answer - the real answer. Stop maintaining an open file handle for this file for the life of the process. Yep, it works. I used the principle today in a Perl script.

Performance was not an issue - one line written every 16 seconds. Perhaps make an experiment measuring the overhead under certain conditions? In Perl, we optimize for programmer time, outside of things going quadratic. You only possibility to force the commitment of the data to disk is by closing the file.

Rob Wells Rob Wells Closing a file doesn't commit it to disk, the OS is still free to write-back cache it. The only guaranteed way is to call fsync or your OS's equivalent the file descriptor.

Pushes a character with the given ordinal value back onto the given handle's input stream.

Only one character of pushback per handle is guaranteed. This write is somewhat like write found in C, in that it is the opposite of read. However, whilst the C write function returns the number of bytes written, this write function simply returns true if successful like print.

A more C-like write is syswrite see above. Returns a true value if the given handle has experienced any errors since it was opened or since the last call to clearerr , or if the handle is invalid. It only returns false for a valid handle with no outstanding errors.

This means that any data held at the perlio api level will not be synchronized. To synchronize data that is buffered at the perlio api level you must use the flush method. Returns "0 but true" on success, undef on error, undef for an invalid handle. See fsync 3c.
