I see a problem with repeatedly opening and closing the pipe and using buffered I/O: 
while (1) {
   ...
    open FH, "<pipe";
    my $data = <FH>;
    close FH
  ...
}

I would open the pipe outside the while loop. When you using buffered I/O (ala <FH>) you can read more than one line from the pipe even though only one line is returned by <FH>. The rest is buffered by perl, but since you are closing the pipe right away it essentially is discarded. This could account for why the server is not logging all of its reads.
