If I connect that to something like netcat (nc -l $host -p $port),
then kill netcat, I'd expect a HUP since the socket is broken. Instead
i get an endless loop of:
$VAR1 = \[

Which seems odd since if there's no socket, how can there be data
waiting to be read?
Simply check eof($sock) in your input handler (before reading from $sock) to check whether the pipe is broken or it is safe to read a line. Probably take a look at Gtk2::Helper. It implements convenience functions regarding IO monitoring and has example code in the manpage. Regards, Joern
