=head1 DESCRIPTION
CGI scripts have a nasty habit of leaving warning messages in the error
In order to correctly intercept compile-time errors, you should call
set_message() from within a BEGIN{} block.
+=head1 MAKING WARNINGS APPEAR AS HTML COMMENTS
+
+It is now also possible to make non-fatal errors appear as HTML
+comments embedded in the output of your program. To enable this
+feature, export the new "warningsToBrowser" subroutine. Since sending
+warnings to the browser before the HTTP headers have been sent would
+cause an error, any warnings are stored in an internal buffer until
+you call the warningsToBrowser() subroutine with a true argument:
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
+ use CGI qw(:standard);
+ print header();
+ warningsToBrowser(1);
+
+You may also give a false argument to warningsToBrowser() to prevent
+warnings from being sent to the browser while you are printing some
+content where HTML comments are not allowed:
+
+ warningsToBrowser(0); # disable warnings
+ print "<SCRIPT type=javascript><!--\n";
+ print_some_javascript_code();
+ print "//--></SCRIPT>\n";
+ warningsToBrowser(1); # re-enable warnings
+
+Note: In this respect warningsToBrowser() differs fundamentally from
+fatalsToBrowser(), which you should never call yourself!
+
=head1 CHANGE LOG
1.05 carpout() added and minor corrections by Marc Hedlund
1.10 Patch from Chris Dean (ctdean@cogit.com) to allow
module to run correctly under mod_perl.
+1.11 Changed order of > and < escapes.
+
+1.12 Changed die() on line 217 to CORE::die to avoid B<-w> warning.
+
+1.13 Added cluck() to make the module orthogonal with Carp.
+ More mod_perl related fixes.
+
+1.20 Patch from Ilmari Karonen (perl@itz.pp.sci.fi): Added
+ warningsToBrowser(). Replaced <CODE> tags with <PRE> in
+ fatalsToBrowser() output.
