Out of curiosity, I tried
perl "$|"
in DDG and Google. DDG returned nothing, but Google led with "perl $|=1; What is this?", and "Perl, what does $|++ do?", both from Stack Overflow. Search like it's 2014, eh? I don't have a time machine, but I'm pretty sure that quoting would've worked ten years ago, too.
