I believe this is saying:

No function that matches:
    client_handler:handle_info({tcp_closed, Port}, {noreply, {client_state}})

The actual bug lies in your handle_info method, wherein you're
clumping an additional "noreply" atom in your state:

  >     % Invoke the client data handler to process incoming messages.
  >     HandleState=client_handle_data(State, {Prefix, Command, Args}),
  >    {noreply, {noreply, State}};

Should be:

  >     % Invoke the client data handler to process incoming messages.
  >     HandleState=client_handle_data(State, {Prefix, Command, Args}),
  >    {noreply, State};

Hope that helps...
