Re^2: perl dying without a trace

Yes I know that won't cause it :)

$self->{length} is 417, $socket is bless( \*Symbol::GEN0, 'IO::Socket::INET' ); according to Data::Dumper, and $SP_MAGIC is a 4-char alfanumeric string.

alright, so does replacing that line with `$rc = syswrite $socket, pack("N",431), 4;` [download] still produce the error? if it does that would indicate a bug in whatever produced the $socket. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply] [d/l]

No it doesn't, since if I replace the line with that I get protocol errors all over the place and never run long enough to run into the error :) See my response to diotalevi for what turned out the be the problem, the newbie-ish mistake of not handling SIGPIPE properly.	[reply]
