Dear Monks, and my application (or at least I think it is). I have a module that instantiates an HTTP::Daemon and (I'm not yet sure if it's relevant) an IO::Select to tell me when a request is available. 
my $d = HTTP::Daemon->new( 'LocalPort' => $port,
                 'ReuseAddr' => 1 );
  print STDERR "DataServer::new: <URL:", $d->url, ">\n";

  my $sel = new IO::Select($d);

Then after receiving the request, I call send_response to handle the HTTP request. Everything works fine.. EXCEPT if before I call send_response either the request (times out) or I kill the Http client (currently either wget or another HTTP::Daemon), my entire application dies. I've tried everything to save it. It literally just wants to die. The specific line it dies on lives in HTTP::Daemon in 'send_basic_header' when it tries to write to the socket handle: 
 print $self "Date: ", time2str(time), $CRLF;

if anyone has any thoughts or interesting ideas, I'm open to all suggestions.. thanks, Michael
