Hi everybody. I ran into a problem with Perl scripts stored in utf-8 and I
couldn't find the answer to it on the Internet or mailing lists. Please tell me
what I'm missing.
SYSTEM: Windows XP SP2, Active Perl 5.8.4.810, Apache 2.048, mod_perl 1.9912.
I need to run scripts stored in utf-8. Here
wrote:
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

It seems as if mod_perl doesn't recognize the format of the script file

Wow! That's interesting.
Please take a look at the code in function

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():
It's certainly a bad idea

But first I would like to know why the script doesn't fail when run
outside mod_perl. We do nothing special here, other than read+eval,
compared to require. So it looks like a bug in perl.
No, Perl can deal with a BOM at the start of a file. But

Aha! Now it's clear. Thanks Markus.
