Post truncation problem

[Sean T Allen]

<>Apache/2.0.40 (Red Hat Linux) Perl/v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi mod_perl/1.99_07-dev just to get that out of the way. problem i have is that we are running a stripped down version of CGI.pm that on a post does:     my $input         =  undef;     my $method        =  $ENV{ 'REQUEST_METHOD' };     my $content_type  =  $ENV{ 'CONTENT_TYPE' };     if ( $method eq 'POST' )     {         no strict;         #         # Do sysread in an eval because it doesn't work on all platforms         #         eval ( "sysread( \STDIN, \$input, $ENV{ 'CONTENT_LENGTH' } )" );         #         # Do a read if sysread failed         #       $@ gets set to undef if eval succeeds or an error string if it fails         #         if ( $@ )         {             read( STDIN, $input, $ENV{ 'CONTENT_LENGTH' } );         } We've encountered a problem where occassionally, we arent reading the full content-length.... sometimes 2 characters... somtimes 7... variable low numbers very intermittent... less than .1% requests... have seen if run enough under a single server situation as well. so question is... is there a bug in our particular setup? i did find references to a post error with mod-perl but it was always truncating at the same length.. or is there a mod-perl gotcha that i'm just an aware of? if this isnt the right place for this quesiton... please let me know... thanks in advance for the help... -- Sean T.
