Perl LWP::UserAgent hangs for 120 seconds seemingly randomly against a given server

I noticed a delay of approximately 120 seconds between handling the response_data and response_done events in WWW::Mechanize with a given https web site. I checked with a normal web browser and do not experience this slowness so I suspect there is something I must do wrong.

Here is what I did to trace the events (for some reason use LWP::Debug qw(+) did not do anything):

use WWW::Mechanize;
use Time::HiRes qw(gettimeofday);
use IO::Handle;

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new(
  timeout     => 3,
  autocheck   => 1,       # check success of each query
  stack_depth => 0,       # no keeping history
  keep_alive  => 50,      # connection pool
);

$mech->agent_alias( 'Windows IE 6' );
open my $debugfile, '>traffic.txt';
$debugfile->autoflush(1);

$mech->add_handler( request_send => sub {
    my $cur_time = gettimeofday();
    my $req = shift;
    print $debugfile "\n$cur_time === BEGIN HTTP REQUEST ===\n";
    print $debugfile $req->dump();
    print $debugfile "\n$cur_time ===   END HTTP REQUEST ===\n";
    return
  }
);
$mech->add_handler( response_header => sub {
    my $cur_time = gettimeofday();
    my $res = shift;
    print $debugfile "\n$cur_time === GOT RESPONSE HDRS ===\n";
    print $debugfile $res->dump();
    return
  }
);
$mech->add_handler( response_data => sub {
    my $cur_time = gettimeofday();
    my $res = shift;
    my $content_length = length($res->content);
    print $debugfile "$cur_time === Got response data chunk resp size = $content_length ===\n";
    return
  }
);
$mech->add_handler( response_done => sub {
    my $cur_time = gettimeofday();
    my $res = shift;
    print $debugfile "\n$cur_time === BEGIN HTTP RESPONSE ===\n";
    print $debugfile $res->dump();
    print $debugfile "\n===   END HTTP RESPONSE ===\n";
    return
  }
);

===   END HTTP RESPONSE ===

During the “Got response data chunk” and “BEGIN HTTP RESPONSE” messages, you can see a 121.5 seconds gap. I have the feeling that sometimes LWP::UserAgent hangs for two minutes after having received the full amount of data.

Do you have any clue where that could come from?

EDIT here is a screenshot in Wireshark : I get the FIN/ACK message after 120 seconds…

Thanks

Thanks to Borodin's answer I found a way to fix it:

I modified the response_data event handler sub this way:

if($res->header('Content-Length') == length($res->content)) {
    die "OK"; # Got whole data, not waiting for server to end the communication channel.
}
return 1; # In other cases make sure the handler is called for subsequent chunks

And then if X-Died header is equal to OK then ignore errors in the caller.
