I ran into the same (or a similar) problem that Scott Beuker reported
with CGI.pm truncating POST content in an mp2 setup. In my case the POST
was truncated at around 7500 bytes. A check with tcpdump shows that the
entire POST is correctly sent to apache.
I started by upgrading CGI.pm to the latest release (3.01), but that
didn't fix it.
Looking through the archives I saw a patch posted by Stas. Here's my
version of that patch, that appears to fix that problem.

! $query_string .= $data if $read > 0;
