I was using $socket->close(), rather than your close $socket. They should be equivalent, I thought, but I also thought I had trouble (closed on both sides) when I did the OO version. I've put in your version, and it hasn't broken anything (and will presumably be more stable in heavy use and under adverse conditions).

`close $socket` provides exactly the same functionality albeit faster than `$socket->close()` because a Perl object method call has more run-time overhead than a subroutine call.</c>	[reply] [d/l] [select]
