   Why is the content merely "HTTP/1.0 (null)"?  What happened to
   the other 6900 bytes or so?

that's the expected result if you haven't called $r-send_http_header yet.

example:
warn $r-as_string;

$r-send_http_header('text/plain');

print $r-as_string;

the error_log $r-warn output is:
GET /perl/test.pl HTTP/1.0
...

HTTP/1.0 (null)

now that $r-status_line and $r-headers_out have been set by
$r-send_http_header, the $r-print output is:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/plain

 Maybe you need to generate them...

I did: if you read my original post, I wrote:

Orig   If I write a mini server in Perl that just dumps the contents
Orig   of the HTTP post, the posted data is correct.

I'm doing a POST with curl: the data curl generates is fine as
is in evidence by the above mini server.

 do you think you could give us a bit more to go on?

I'd be happy to: what else would you like to know?
