Re: Query regarding LWP

[Discipulus]

Just a suggestion (i'm really not an expert): IO::Socket is a IO::Handle and as all handles it autoclose when it goes out of scope and in other circumstances too (filehandle have close on exec: see perlipc ).
In general sense, Perl does a lot of kind things for you, behind the scenes, garbage collection is one of theese.

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to confirm if it is the garbage collector that is performing the socket close in this scenario? I know the specific routine where the close seems to be happening. Any other information that can help confirm the same would be great. Thanks.
