in thread Double Click of Death on Perl Web Server

Apologies for the typo: 

my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(...);

while (my $client = $server->accept) {
  while (<$client>) {
    ...
  }
  ...
  close $client;               # server dies
  eval { close $client }       # does not die
  shutdown $client, 2;         # dies
  eval { shutdown $client, 2 } # does not die
}
close $server;

    Fork it: 
    
my $server = IO::Socket::INET->new(...);

while (my $client = $server->accept) {

  if (my $pid = fork()) {
    # parent waits for another connection
    close $client
  }
  elsif (defined $pid) {
    # child handles the request
    while (<$client>) {
      ...
    }
    ...
    close $client;
    close $server;
    exit;
  }
}
close $server;
