Yes, anywhere before where the output needs to be sent to the user is fine..
To speed up processing output buffering is enabled by default in UNIX when
the output is not an interactive terminal (/dev/tty*). This applies to all
programming languages, not only Perl.
In Squid this is very notable when you write helpers such as redirectors or
authenticators. These plain do not work unless one disables output buffering.
