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 convert_script_to_compiled_handler() puts the BOM in the middle of the string that is eval'ed. A bunch of raw bytes has no place in the middle of a script.

Aha! Now it's clear. Thanks Markus.

Do we know that it's always coming in the first few chars of the script?

I suppose mp1's registry suffers from the same issue.
