SPUG: failed: Bad file descriptor

[jlb]

Are you sure XMLRPC::Lite sets errno?  I would be sort of surprised if it 
did.  Unless what you're using explicitly states it will set $! in case 
of an error, there's a good chance that you're just seeing some irrelevant 
leftover error code.

Read the section on $! in perlvar, specifically:

"A successful system or library call does not set the variable to zero."

Which means a call can return success, but there's a good chance $! will 
contain an error anyway.
