I found the one answer I didn't want:

http://perl.z3950.org/docs/todo.html

Work still to be done in Net::Z3950.pm
 Things that need fixing include, but may not be limited to, the following. 
(They're listed in the order that they occurred to me, which is by no means 
order of importance or anything.) 
Creating a non-blocking COMSTACK to a non-existent server (e.g. ECONNREFUSED) 
is not properly diagnosed, yielding a SIGPIPE instead of a graceful error 
report. 

i.e. it's a BUG in the module.

There's more goodies too, including:
"Improve the reporting of Z39.50 errors. "

I hadn't noticed any error reporting! That's why I need __DIE__ !!

I'd still be interested in any ideas to catch this SIGPIPE on connrefused.
