I've found the problem. There is a bug in perl 5.8.0 (21951):

  21951 /(^\s]+)/ regexp can incorrectly fail match in utf8 locale

CGI.pm <= 2.91 uses such a regexp to parse the HTTP headers:

  next unless my($header,$value) = /([^\s=]+)=\"?(.+?)\"?$/;

This is where this bug comes from.


Solution:
- Upgrading CGI.pm to 3.04 did it for me.
