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.

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

Yes, it's always the first 2-4 bytes.
