You might tell that mod_perl list that he could use http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=367478 to flag unchecked operations like send(). There was even code to automatically fix such code into C<EXPR or die $!>. I don't recall whether the code as posted was smart enough to DRT for system() and I don't recall seeing documentation for the socket calls that says they return -1 for any failures. Of course, I never do socket programming so I just take what the documentation says at face value.
