After some testing I've found out that basically this works except for reading the $content in on PUT. As it seems there's nothing on STDIN, although the content-length header is correct. And reading the PUTDATA param fails, nothing there.

On textual data I get structures like this in the C::A object: 
'__QUERY_OBJ' => bless( {
                                           '.script_name' => '/test.tx
+t',
                                           '.parameters' => [
                                                              'keyword
+s'
                                                            ],
                                           'use_tempfile' => 1,
                                           '.path_info' => '',
                                           '.charset' => 'utf-8',
                                           '.fieldnames' => {},
                                           'param' => {
                                                        'keywords' => 
+[

+  'abcde',

+]
                                                      },

whereas binary data produces 
'__QUERY_OBJ' => bless( {
                                           '.script_name' => '/image.j

                                           '.parameters' => [
