Hello All,
I have a written a proxy server, using HTTP::Proxy, and it has been working fine for 1-10 clients without any problems. I opened the testing up to more clients (upwards of 80), and the program runs fine for a little while and eventually shuts down without any more than the following message:

PROCESS: Too many child process, serving the connection

I am running the script on a linux system, and have HTTP::Proxy setup in the following way:
sub StartServer_tcp_incoming_handler{
    use HTTP::Proxy;
    use HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple;
    use Digest::SHA1 qw(sha1_hex);
    my $port = 30000;
    my $proxy = HTTP::Proxy->new( 
            host                    => $Server_IP,
            max_clients             => 80,
            min_spare_servers       => 10,
            max_keep_alive_requests => 1,
            port                    => $Server_Port );
    
    my $filter = HTTP::Proxy::HeaderFilter::simple->new(
        sub {
            my ($self, $headers, $request) = @_;
            my $uri = $request->uri();
            .........
            .........
            ...etc...

Can I force the TCP connection to be closed after each connection? I think too many open TCP connections are being left open.

Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks.
