My program waits on a Socket for requests 
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET (    LocalHost  => $host,
                                              LocalPort=> $port,
                                              Proto=> 'tcp',
                                              Listen=> 5,
                                              Reuse => 1,
                                                        );

with an IO::Select. It processes these requests (in their 1000s )and returns them print $soc $reply;

Occasionally, the program dies (either with no warning or just with the message Broken Pipe) I am certain that the problem happens when I try to print back to the requesting socket ( that connects to me 
$sock = new IO::Socket::INET (  PeerAddr  => $host,
                                      PeerPort   => $peerport,
                                      Proto  => 'tcp',
                                                );

) even though the requesting socket appears to be in order ( passes $sel->can_write and $sel->exist ) any thoughts?
