Subject: Writes on broken connections loop forever
This is a fix for a longstanding bug in Net::SSLeay, which caused writes to broken connections to loop forever if SIGPIPE was blocked. (I have submitted this to Debian bug tracker as Bug #431113 in June 2007, but I never got an answer and the problem still persists.)

I think it is dangerous to assume that your favorite distribution or cpan bug trackers would ever be read by the maintainers of the software packages in question. When I was running Net::SSLeay, only direct mail to me worked. Nowdays others maintain Net::SSLeay and I understand that the following mailing list is the appropriate channel: net-ssleay-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org Cheers, --Sampo
