UPDATE:: I got a lot of good advice after posting this thread - thanks to all. I tried using `$SIG{PIPE} = sub { ... };` but found that it wasn't working all the time. It turns out that by hitting the stop button on the browser, a SIGTERM was ending the script in stead. I took this anonymous suggestion to use the sigtrap module, and that's working flawlessly now. Thanks! `use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals); END { ... here's where I clean up the zip file ... }` [download] sigtrap	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$SIG{PIPE} = sub { ... };

use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals);
END { ... here's where I clean up the zip file ... }
