I am having strange problem. I am running RH 7.3 2.4.23-V120203Gen #1. I have perl 5.6.1 installed and i believe my version of IO::Socket::INET is 1.27. This machine is serving as a syslog server recieving ALOT of syslog messages. I discovered that quite a few of the syslog msgs are missing when I write them to a file. I decided to not even write anything to file to eliminate IO write issues. Right now I am simply recv'ing on a socket and I get the following. Is there some sort of limit on how much data a socket can handle recv'ing. Would writing this in C/C++ make any difference?? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use IO::Socket::INET;

my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
                                LocalAddr => 'loghost',
                                LocalPort => 514,
                                Proto => 'udp',
                                Listen => '5' )
                                or die "Cant establish socket";
my $data = '';
while ( 1 )
{
        my $from_who = recv( $sock, $data, 1450, 0 ) || warn "Problem 
+with recv: $!\n";
}
