I can't reproduce this:

t.pl has your script in it...

~ % lptest 2000 5 | sed 's/ //g' | wc            
       5       5    9900
~ % lptest 2000 5 | sed 's/ //g' | perl t.pl | wc
       5       5    9900
~ % uname -srm
FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386

how are you running this script?

please give a better way to reproduce this.
