It appears that your stylesheet is being interpreted as a Perl script.
This is definitely not a Petal problem, but possibly an Apache config
issue.

Are you calling Petal from a CGI script?  If so, the stylesheet probably
shouldn't be in the CGI directory.  Perhaps you could move it to the
docroot directory and change you template to include a leading /

  @import url(/style.css);

By the way, is there any reason why you're using import rather than a
<link> tag?:

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.css" />

If you're not using CGI, are you using mod_perl?  Perhaps you have a
Perl handler configured on a whole directory rather than just certain
file extensions?
