Try just reading a max size buffer and taking what you get:
my $buffer;
my $bytes = sysread ($handle, $buffer, 1024);
if (not defined $bytes or $bytes < 0) {
# err
} elsif ($bytes == 0) {
# EOF
}
# we now have $bytes worth of data in $buffer.
# process the data and do a select before the next read
# unless blocking is OK
