reading from stdin via pipe, buffering?

Hi,

I have written an perl program that read from stdin:
while(<STDIN> )
{
chomp
do_it($_);
}
Data is fed to it via a pipe:

cat myfile | ./myprogram

When running the program, the program doesn't always read the whole
line.  I'm guessing this has something to do with the stdin buffer.

I would like to know how I can make that perl gets the whole line.  As
it is clearly failing from time to time.

Thanks in advance,

Rudy

Try disabling buffering $|++;

Won't help.  $| controls output buffering; it has no affect on STDIN.
