Here is a little Glib event-loop hack that will copy a multiline input, but you must end your input with a Control-d. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Glib  qw(TRUE FALSE);

$|++;

print "Enter multi-lines, and finish with Control-d\n";

my $main_loop = Glib::MainLoop->new;

#my $watcher;
#$watcher = Glib::IO->add_watch( fileno( $pty ), ['in', 'hup'], \&call
+back);

Glib::IO->add_watch (fileno 'STDIN', [qw/in/], \&watch_callback, 'STDI
+N');    
$main_loop->run;

sub watch_callback {
#    print "@_\n";
    my ($fd, $condition, $fh) = @_;
    my (@lines) = (<STDIN>);
    print @lines;
    #always return TRUE to continue the callback
    return TRUE;
}
