Eureka! Thank you for pointing this out. Now it all makes sense. In order to handle individual requests, my daemon forks child processes (which are Perl functions run by POE::Wheel::Run), these child processes held on to the sockets of all connections at the time. That's why the clients were hanging until all those children exit, *sigh*. Now I just have to figure out how to close all file descriptors > $^F in the child process as you suggested. Pete
