Hello, I am trying to read data piped to the program via stdin.
It seems that an \x0a in the data will end what is taken as "<STDIN>".
Other "control" characters will go into STDIN ok and the buffer behaves as expected.
----- small example code ----- 
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use warnings;

my $s1 = <STDIN>;
print("\$s1= <$s1> \n");

if (<STDIN>) { 
  my $s2 = <STDIN>;
  print("\$s2= <$s1> \n"); 
};

----- some output samples: ----- (linux-gnome terminal)

perl>  echo -ne "hello\x0aWorld" | ./pipe_x-1.pl  # try \n
$s1= <hello
> 
$s2= <hello:
> 

perl>  echo -ne "hello\x0dWorld" | ./pipe_x-1.pl  # try \r
World> ello

perl>  echo -ne "hello\x09World" | ./pipe_x-1.pl  # try \t
$s1= <hello     World>

As you can see the samples using 0x0d and 0x09 are read through to EOF and buffer is empty so the $s2 print does not occur.

But something wierd happens with the 0x0a.
Very interesting , what can I do to read through that?
