If I run this script:

If you use open IN = :bytes, that works.
What happens is that perl tries to load PerlIO::byte, in order to read
constant.pm. But this PerlIO layer isn't found, hence the (suboptimal
and buggy) error message.
use constant A = 1;
on a MacBook Pro (Intel) with perl version 5.8.6 (the pre-installed) I
get this error:
Can't locate constant.pm in @INC ...
if I change the line to:
use open IN = :encoding(UTF16-BE);
I get this error:
Unrecognized character \xE0 at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/constant.pm
line 1.
I get similar with 5.8.7 and 5.9.5 on NetBSD/Alpha, and 5.10.0 patch 31863
on Solaris/SPARC. Congratulations, it looks like you've found a bug in
perl!
In both cases:
If I swap the lines, everything runs smoothly.
Same here. I've CCed p5p on this mail.
