It was perl 5.8.0. A coworker of mine noticed that when we pipe .asp or
.cgi files through AxKit everything was fine...it was just broken on
static content. Upon further inspection, things written to AxKit's
cache were in the native encoding, and not utf-8. When the cache was
delivered, the binary contents were sent and the data was encoded wrong
for the browser. The 'easy' fix for this was to make sure that perl 5.8
didn't change the encoding for the cache output in AxKit. At line 114
in AxKit::Cache, I inserted this line:
binmode($fh,":utf8");
And everything started working as expected.
