How are you running your perl program ? 

You must run it from hobbitlaunch.cfg through a new section like

[myclienttool]
	ENVFILE /usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
	CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=client /usr/local/bin/myclient.pl
	LOGFILE $BBSERVERLOGS/myclient.log

myclient.pl then receives the client data on <STDIN>


For debugging you can run it by hand. You MUST be logged in as the
hobbit user, then run 
    bbcmd hobbitd_channel --channel=client /usr/local/bin/myclient.pl
