in thread Sockets, eval , and DIE

BINGO !!
SIGPIPE="IGNORE" allowed the code to continue. Now to wrestle with "Don't test for what you aren't prepared to handle!"

It is always better to have seen your target for yourself, rather than depend upon someone else's description.

    Alternatively, one can use "send" instead of "syswrite". Like this 

    use Socket qw(MSG_NOSIGNAL);
use Errno;

my $out = send($sock, $data, MSG_NOSIGNAL);
unless(defined $out)
{
     if($!{EPIPE}) { warn("Got broken pipe\n"); }
}

    In this case SIGPIPE is not provided, only EPIPE system error happens, which allows handling of all errors in single place.
