I'm working with the code from the perl cookbook, "Pre-Forking Servers"

I'm having difficulty reading all of the data from the client. I'm using the following code, the Begin/End grab is what is catching the clients data: 

for ($i=0; $i < $MAX_CLIENTS_PER_CHILD; $i++) {
   ($client) = $server->accept( ) or last;

   #Begin Grab incoming data
   my $data;
   my $rv   = $client->recv($data,POSIX::BUFSIZ, 0);
   #End Grab

   print $data ."\n";

}

This, however, doesn't grab all of the data from the client. Is there a better way to handle this?

To test, I am hitting the pre-forking server with firefoxer and using the "Live HTTP headers" plugin see exactly what is being sent to the server. Many more headers are being sent than is being printed out.
