Just to comment about sysread(). If I'm not wrong, for sockets you can't try to read more than 1024*8 bytes per time with sysread()! At least with Perl-5.6.1 the bug exists. But since you are using the system resource I don't know if this is really a bug.

Soo, for portability use read(), and you will ensure that you are reading all the data. (As documented in the Perl POD).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
