Apologies for the slow response. A comment dated 2021-11-09 11:54 UTC on the first bug report that you cited suggests that it's unlikely to be anything that's changed recently in mod_perl that is to blame, though that doesn't rule out some existing nastiness that has been exposed by changes in something else. The mod_perl bug tracker is https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=mod_perl, which can be accessed from the "Issues" link in the left-hand menu at the metacpan.org page, https://metacpan.org/pod/mod_perl2. (I think you need to log in to an account on rt.cpan.org to actually report bugs there.) This probably ought to be documented better somewhere. I will add a note to the README file at least. Looking at the list of current bugs I see only this one mentioning locale issues: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133553, although it sounds like something different.
