...but with my Perl that I have compiled on my own it works. So it must have
something to do with ActiveStates way to compile it.

I don't think that has anything to do with this change in the start
directory. Apache::Registry calls
$r->chdir_file;
which should change the current directory to the one of the file, but it
doesn't with ActiveState Perl.
chdir_file in defined in Apache.xs, which calls ap_chdir_file with
r->filename as argument and this function simply looks for a / and calls
chdir.
I guess the problem is that chdir on windows doesn't like a path with / as
path separators. So it seems that it is actualy an Apache bug...
At least putting the following at the to test/html/registry/Execute.htm
(which does the same as $r -> chdir_file should do), fixes the bug:
use Cwd ;
use File::Basename ;
my $fn = $r -> filename ;
chdir(dirname ($fn)) ;
