CGI::Carp 3.49

CGI::Carp is a Perl module with CGI routines for writing to the HTTPD (or other) error log.

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::Carp;

croak "We're outta here!";
confess "It was my fault: $!";
carp "It was your fault!";
warn "I'm confused";
die "I'm dying.n";

use CGI::Carp qw(cluck);
cluck "I wouldn't do that if I were you";

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
die "Fatal error messages are now sent to browser";

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

use Carp;

with

use 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:

[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.
