CGI::Carp - CGI routines for writing to HTTP error log
use CGI::Carp qw(warn die);
<![CDATA[
croak "We're outta here!";
confess "It was my fault: $!";
carp "It was your fault!";
warn "I'm confused";
die "I'm dying.\n";
]]>
CGI scripts have a nasty habit of leaving warning messages in the error
logs that are neither time stamped nor fully identified. Tracking down
the script that caused the error is a pain. This fixes that. Replace
the usual
<![CDATA[
uses Carp;
]]>
with
<![CDATA[
uses CGI::Carp
]]>
And the standard warn(), die (), croak(), confess() and carp() calls
will automagically
be replaced with functions that write out nicely time-stamped messages
to the HTTP server error log.
For example:
<![CDATA[
[Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: I'm confused at test.pl line 3.
[Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: Got an error message: Permission denied.
[Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: I'm dying.
