Re^3: perl dying without a trace

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.

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]
