It seems as if mod_perl doesn't recognize the format of the script file correctly. Any tips why this may occur? Thanks a bundle in advance!
Wow! That's interesting.
Please take a look at the code in function convert_script_to_compiled_handler at ModPerl-Registry/lib/ModPerl/RegistryCooker.pm, and suggest a fix.
The reason for the failure is pretty clear, the BOM ends up somewhere in the middle of the string that is eval'ed to generate the package. On Linux, I was able to fix that by removing the BOM in RegistryCooker::read_script():
# remove BOM
${$self->{CODE}} =~ s/^(?:
\xef\xbb\xbf |
\xfe\xff |
\xff\xfe |
\x00\x00\xfe\xff |
\xff\xfe\x00\x00
)//x;For some reason that I haven't figured out yet, this doesn't work on Windows. With the ^ anchor in place, the BOM isn't getting removed, with the ^ anchor gone, the script doesn't seem to receive its request object in @_.
