The print statement is buffered. You can turn off buffering by putting

$|=1;

at the top of your program.

Also, if you don't want to check the return code manually, you can say:

my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 1 );

Printing and fetching pages

hi,

the following code gets the page first and then prints the message
"intializing" although it's written the other way.

use warnings;
use strict;
use WWW::Mechanize;
my $agent = WWW::Mechanize->new();
print "intializing";
$agent->get('http://www.thecityvibe.com/forum/');
die "Can't even get the home page: ", $agent->response->status_line
unless $agent->success;

I want first to see the message and then to get the page.

Generally I have problems when I use mechanize with the print function.
I get all the prints when mech is done. What's wrong?
