My idea of setting listen() didn't work. I have experimented some more. Essentially, the system works fine for a bit, but then starts receiving SIGPIPEs. After that, nothing gets through... for some reason the message receiver never manages to accept another message. Here is my current code - can anyone see what I am doing wrong? 

sub accept_messages {
 my $self = shift;

 unless ($self->{daemon}) {
  my ($localaddr, $localport) = split /:/, $self->{address};
  $self->{daemon} = new HTTP::Daemon (
   LocalAddr => $localaddr,
   LocalPort => $localport
  );
  ref $self->{daemon} or $self->_debug("Could not create HTTP::Daemon 
+$! $@", 3);
  $self->{daemon}->timeout($self->{timeout}) if $self->{timeout};
  $self->{daemon}->listen($self->{queue}) if $self->{queue}; # tried s
+etting this to 15. no joy.
 }

 local $SIG{PIPE} = sub {
   $self->_debug('PIPE WHILE ACCEPTING MESSAGE');
    };
 CONNECTION: while (1) {
  my $conn = $self->{daemon}->accept; # blocks
  return undef unless $conn;
  my $req = $conn->get_request;
  unless ($req) {
   $self->_debug(
     'Problem reading from connection: ' .
     $conn->reason
      );
   next CONNECTION;
  }
  if ($req->method ne 'POST') {

   my $r = new HTTP::Response (405,'POST method only' );

   $conn->send_response($r);
   $conn->close;
   next CONNECTION;
  }
  elsif (my $content = $req->content) {

   my $r = new HTTP::Response(200, 'OK');
   $conn->send_response($r);

   $conn->close;

   return $content;
  }
 }
}

sub transport_message {
 my $self = shift;
 my $message_string = shift;
 my $peer = shift;

 my $headers = new HTTP::Headers;
 $headers->date(time);
 $headers->content_type('text/plain');
 $headers->server('Net::Distributed');

 my $request = new HTTP::Request (
  'POST',
  "http://" . $peer->address,
  $headers,
  $message_string
 );


 unless ($self->{UserAgent}) {
  $self->{UserAgent} = new LWP::UserAgent;
  $self->{UserAgent}->agent ("Net::Distributed::Transport/$VERSION");
  $self->{UserAgent}->from ($self->{email});
  $self->{UserAgent}->parse_head(0);
  $self->{UserAgent}->timeout($self->{send_timeout});
 }
 my $ua = $self->{UserAgent};

 local $SIG{PIPE} = sub {
   $self->_debug('PIPE WHILE SENDING MESSAGE');
    };
 my $response = $ua->request($request);

 if ($response->is_success) {
  return 1; # of course, there may be problems further down the line
 } else {
  $self->_debug("Got " . $response->status_line . " from " . $peer->ad
+dress, 0);

  return 0;
 }
}
