Unfortunately you cannot tell $r->read to read just all of the data, you must provide a length.

How do I solve this problems.

$r->read will return 0 when no more data is available. I have been using the following simple code with success:

my $postdata = ""; while ($r->read(my $buf, 8192)) { $postdata .= $buf; }

You should ofcourse select a read-buffer size that will best suite your setup. I do not know what would be the most optimal setting here.

Yes, this code works and I am using it, too. But the documentation says, you can use $r->read($buf, $r->headers_in->{'content-length'} http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html I want to know if the documentation is wrong, and if it is wrong, it should be corrected!
