I wrote an IRC bot and to do various functions it creates threads. One of the functions connects to a web page and parses the content, and before the thread function returns it does this: 
print $sock "PRIVMSG $channel :Thread Finished\r\n";

For some reason it won't send it. I have to message something to the bot, then it sends it. SO heres what happens when it doesn't send. 
<j0n> !DoFunction
<b0t> OK, starting
