+If you want to send fatal (die, confess) errors to the browser, ask to
import the special "fatalsToBrowser" subroutine:
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
Nonfatal errors will still be directed to the log file only (unless redirected
with carpout).
+Note that fatalsToBrowser does B<not> work with mod_perl version 2.0
+and higher.
+
=head2 Changing the default message
By default, the software error message is followed by a note to
In order to correctly intercept compile-time errors, you should call
set_message() from within a BEGIN{} block.
+=head1 DOING MORE THAN PRINTING A MESSAGE IN THE EVENT OF PERL ERRORS
+
+If fatalsToBrowser in conjunction with set_message does not provide
+you with all of the functionality you need, you can go one step
+further by specifying a function to be executed any time a script
+calls "die", has a syntax error, or dies unexpectedly at runtime
+with a line like "undef->explode();".
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(set_die_handler);
+ BEGIN {
+ sub handle_errors {
+ my $msg = shift;
+ print "content-type: text/html\n\n";
+ print "<h1>Oh gosh</h1>";
+ print "<p>Got an error: $msg</p>";
+
+ #proceed to send an email to a system administrator,
+ #write a detailed message to the browser and/or a log,
+ #etc....
+ }
+ set_die_handler(\&handle_errors);
+ }
+
+Notice that if you use set_die_handler(), you must handle sending
+HTML headers to the browser yourself if you are printing a message.
+
+If you use set_die_handler(), you will most likely interfere with
+the behavior of fatalsToBrowser, so you must use this or that, not
+both.
+
+Using set_die_handler() sets SIG{__DIE__} (as does fatalsToBrowser),
+and there is only one SIG{__DIE__}. This means that if you are
+attempting to set SIG{__DIE__} yourself, you may interfere with
+this module's functionality, or this module may interfere with
+your module's functionality.

It is now also possible to make non-fatal errors appear as HTML

+1.29 Patch from Peter Whaite to fix the unfixable problem of CGI::Carp

1.24 Patch from Scott Gifford (sgifford@suspectclass.com): Add support
former isn't working in some people's hands. There is no such thing
as reliable exception handling in Perl.
