in thread Perl prints junk before file

3 characters? Or 3 bytes? That would be weird bytes, judging by the sample output you posted... But maybe they got converted again, after the fact. So it could be a BOM marker after all.

You could try out File::BOM.

      So which editor was it that confused you by adding BOM?

      Because it wasn't perl :)
