Can't find a definitive answer... I've got a small web server embedded in an app. When I connect from a local browser, I frequently get "The document contains no data" alerts from firefox. So I've injected "sleep 0.1" between sending the page and close()'ing, and the alert goes away. Presumably, the right thing to do is set SO_LINGER, but if I set (via IO::Socket::INET): 
$fd->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, pack('l', 1));

the server hangs. Some google pages indicated Win32 needs shorts, not longs, so I've tried 
$fd->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, pack('S', 1));

No help. And I thought that LINGER required 2 args, so I've tried 
$fd->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, pack('ll', 1, 1));

and 
$fd->setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_LINGER, pack('ss', 1, 1));

...with no success. What am I doing wrong ???
