Just an idea: I notice POE::Driver::SysRW::put() uses 'use bytes':

<snip>
      # Need to check lengths in octets, not characters.
      use bytes;

      foreach (grep { length } @$chunks) {
        $self->[TOTAL_OCTETS_LEFT] += length;
        push @{$self->[OUTPUT_QUEUE]}, $_;
      }
</snip>

Maybe once it finishes calculating the bytes, we need to put in 'no
bytes' to turn byte-semantics off again:

<snip>
      use bytes;

      # Need to check lengths in octets, not characters.
      foreach (grep { length } @$chunks) {
        $self->[TOTAL_OCTETS_LEFT] += length;
      }

      no bytes;

      ## push it all at once, but w/o byte semantics
      push @{$self->[OUTPUT_QUEUE]}, @$chunks;
</snip>

I've seen this problem before a few years ago in a (non-POE) webmail
application that was doing sort of the same thing. I'm just guessing
here (i.e., untested code may break things!).

HTH,
