in thread IO::Socket::UNIX close() discards data when called "too soon"?

It should read all the lines, as the readline brackets are in a list assignment - it only returns the first line though. The program works fine here, perl 5.8.2 on linux 2.4.21

    The server reads from the client with the following line in do_something():

      my ($l) = <$fh>;

    That is not a list assignment. If you want to read all of the data from the client, try adding local $/ = undef; before the above line.

      It was the uncaught SIGPIPE. Adding undef $/; to client solved the problem. Thanks!
