I'm using HTTP::Deamon to put together a web service. I'm running into a situation where a client makes a request and then immediately disconnects. The server gets the request and then trys to respond. The first 'print' statement back to the client is in HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::send_status_line. When the print statement executes that sends header info back to the client the program just stops.
No exceptions are raised that can be caught with an eval.
No core dumps happen.
None of my END blocks execute.

Below is a code snippet in HTTP::Deamon::ClientConn.
To 'help' me debug this I put two print statements to stdout before and after the print statement of header info back to the client.
The first statement prints.
The second never does. 
sub send_status_line
{
    my($self, $status, $message, $proto) = @_;
    return if $self->antique_client;
    $status  ||= RC_OK;
    $message ||= status_message($status) || "";
    $proto   ||= $HTTP::Daemon::PROTO || "HTTP/1.1";
    print STDOUT "$$ ",__PACKAGE__,"::send_status_line before print\n"
+;
    print $self "$proto $status $message$CRLF";
    print STDOUT "$$ ",__PACKAGE__,"::send_status_line after print\n";
}
