can you check whether strace shows anything insane?

are you using buffering in your perl program?

syslog-ng uses a read/write pipe, and writes messages as soon as the pipe
becomes writable. if the pipe is not writable (as indicated by poll),
messages are buffered in a fifo, whose size is controlled by
log_fifo_size().
