strange problem with STDIN- need help

Hi,

Iam using <STDIN> to accept user input but the script just hangs at that
point.
I type in the value & program is just stuck at that point.

i know its got to do with buffer flushing. when iam using the same piece of
code at the beginning of the script everything works fine.

iam using system() a lot. directing input/output to/from files. can this be
the reason.

This is the piece of code:

print "Do you want to remove this CSpec(y/n):";
my $remove_CS = <STDIN>;
chop($remove_CS);
if($remove_CS =~ m/n/i )

Thanks & Regards
Poonam
