$SIG{PIPE} won't work on Windows. Windows does not implement signals, pipes, and sockets in the same way. The way CGI scripts communicate with the server is different and does not result in a SIGPIPE when the communications is disconnected.

I don't see the problem if the script finishes normally even if the client disconnects. Can't it delete the temporary file in its normal cleanup? Special code is only needed when the disconnect causes the CGI scripts to be killed before it is done and not run the END code.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
