    UPDATE:: I got a lot of good advice after posting this thread - thanks to all. I tried using
    $SIG{PIPE} = sub { ... };
    but found that it wasn't working all the time. It turns out that by hitting the stop button on the browser, a SIGTERM was ending the script in stead.

    I took this anonymous suggestion to use the sigtrap module, and that's working flawlessly now. Thanks! 
    use sigtrap qw(die untrapped normal-signals);
END { ... here's where I clean up the zip file ... }

    sigtrap
