in reply to perl dying without a trace

If it means anything. I have the same exact same issue: 
#perl, v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

_debug( "WRITE to sock (" . length($tmData) . "));
my $bytesWrote = $itosSock->syswrite($tmData);

#perl signals SIGPIPE with a return code 141 (will not execute the nex
+t line)
_debug( "WROTE ($bytesWrote) to sock" );


# I use socat as the client-side and it closes.

    See my response to diatolevi. You have to add a SIGPIPE handler to your code.

    Mine is as simple as:

    $SIG{PIPE} = sub {
  print STDERR "SIGPIPE @_\n";
};

    Which basically just ignores the SIGPIPE and leaves it to you to handle the error after the syswrite
