I started recently to use HTTP::Daemon for my web server, but occassionaly (actually quite often) it fails to handle multiple requests with one connection. I was calling get_request method of that package, from time to time, the client site (browser) just hangs.

The code is something like (as suggested in its doc) 
while ($connection->get_request) {
#hanles the req here
}

The problem could be easily fixed by closing the socket after handling each request. This simply tells the client that, sorry I don't handle multiple request with one connection, please send next request again with a new connection.

This works fine as it should be, but there are questions left over...

Is this a known problem with HTTP:Daemon (it works sometime, but not stable at all in terms of multi-request-with-one-connection.) or just that I missed something

What do you guys usually do to fix this?
