Synopsis: When killed Perl should flush output buffers

It should not. If you want this functionality, set your own signal
handlers ($SIG{INT} = sub { ... }; $SIG{TERM} = sub { ... };). It is
not the job of the interpreter to do this. Perl, just like C, uses
stdio, which is buffered by default. In C, just like in Perl, you will
have to set your own signal handlers if you want to flush the buffers on
a signal.
