It's caused by libapache2-mod-perl2 2.0.5-1, specifically

 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=932875

as verified by testing against a local libapache2-mod-perl2 version with
the above change reverted.

A quick way to reproduce it is

 perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch ./test.pl registry/Execute.htm -h

No idea about a good fix yet.
