Hi, I have the followinig code which runs in a number of threads - 
my $socket = new IO::Socket::INET
  ( 
    PeerAddr => $ipAddress,  
    PeerPort => $port, 
    Proto => 'tcp'
  );

  if(defined $socket)
  {
    print $socket "Hi!\n";
    $socket.close();
  }
  else
  {
    print "Failed to connect to video server: $ipAddress, $port\n";
  }

The problem is that if I manage to reach the line print $socket "Hi!\n"; I will get the warning "print() on closed filehandle STDOUT" every time I try to print in the normal fashion after this point. However, I can print fine in those threads that dont manage to connect to a server socket (those that dont run the line print $socket "Hi!\n";). Why have STDOUT close down for some threads?
Thanks.
