I use the Windows' Notepad and save the file as utf-8. Everything works fine while I run the script from the command line or through CGI without mod_perl. PROBLEM: When I try to run the script using mod_perl, I get the following ERROR:
[error] 3320: ModPerl::PerlRun: Unrecognized character \xEF at .../CGI-FOO/TEST.PL line 1.
Looks like the various ModPerl::RegistryCooker-based modules don't like a UTF-8 Byte Order Marker (BOM, "EF BB BF") at the start of the script (verified with 1.99_17). So until that can be fixed in a future version, you'll have to use an editor that can save files without a BOM, or remove those three bytes manually.
