Silly me, the piping should be reversed. This seems to work for ActivePerl:
 perl -e "print qq(127.0.0.1:8999/); print qq(a) x 10000; print qq(/22);" | curl -v --data - -G

But then curl complains:
  curl: no URL specified!

W/o the pipe I see Perl outputs the correct string:
  perl -e "print qq(127.0.0.1:8999/); print qq(a) x 100; print qq(/22\r\n);"
  127.0.0.1:8999/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... aaaaaa/22

What could be the problem?
