Which hooks to use in perlbal?

Hello all,
I could use a nudge in the right direction in regards to a perlbal
plugin I'm writing. I am attempting to use perlbal as a general-purpose
application web server, in lieu of using apache+mod_perl.
The problem is that I don't know what hook I should use when writing my
plugin. I need to have access POST data, but it seems the only time a
plugin can have access to any POST data is when 'proxy_read_request' is
used, but the 'proxy_read_request' isn't called when there is no POST
data. Or am I crazy?
Summary of my problem:
When hooked against start_proxy_request, $obj->{read_buf} is empty
When hooked against proxy_read_request, $obj->{read_buf} is not empty,
but if there is no data POSTed, proxy_read_request is not triggered.
Should I make a subref and register the same subref with multiple hooks
(if I want to catch both POST and non-post traffic)? Or is there some
amazingly simple thing that I'm overlooking?
Thanks,
Elliot
