Well, after much testing, I've found the problem does not lie with mod_perl. I'm not sure of the source now, I just know how to recreate it. Originally it seemed like mod_perl but it was just a coincidence that it the problem started after making some configuration changes.
The only thing I need to do to recreate the problem is include a 'use Whatever::Module;' in a simple "hello world" Perl script under mod_cgi. Mod_perl does not ever append the 0. System and exec calls do not cause the 0 to be displayed either. I have no idea what is causing this as the setup is an out of the box Red Hat 7.2 installation. But that is off topic...
