I didn't get any truncation trying it on my server (Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux mod_perl/1.27) under mod_perl, even with about 50k in the textbox. Perhaps it's a bug in your version?

Update: Oops, forgot to read the question: mod_perl2 and Apache2.

Anyway, I also didn't find anything in the mod_perl2 docs about restrictions like this, or even where to set a maximum Content-Length (other than the CGI.pm config where you looked). This really sounds like a bug to me, as your truncation happens after an extremely low number of bytes. Make sure you're using the latest version.
