carpout() does not handle file locking on the log for you at this point.
-The real STDERR is not closed -- it is moved to SAVEERR. Some
+The real STDERR is not closed -- it is moved to CGI::Carp::SAVEERR. Some
servers, when dealing with CGI scripts, close their connection to the
-browser when the script closes STDOUT and STDERR. SAVEERR is used to
+browser when the script closes STDOUT and STDERR. CGI::Carp::SAVEERR is there to
prevent this from happening prematurely.
You can pass filehandles to carpout() in a variety of ways. The "correct"
sub handle_errors {
my $msg = shift;
print "<h1>Oh gosh</h1>";
- print "Got an error: $msg";
+ print "<p>Got an error: $msg</p>";
}
set_message(\&handle_errors);
}
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=\"text/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 OVERRIDING THE NAME OF THE PROGRAM
+
+CGI::Carp includes the name of the program that generated the error or
+warning in the messages written to the log and the browser window.
+Sometimes, Perl can get confused about what the actual name of the
+executed program was. In these cases, you can override the program
+name that CGI::Carp will use for all messages.
+
+The quick way to do that is to tell CGI::Carp the name of the program
+in its use statement. You can do that by adding
+"name=cgi_carp_log_name" to your "use" statement. For example:
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(name=cgi_carp_log_name);
+
+. If you want to change the program name partway through the program,
+you can use the C<set_progname()> function instead. It is not
+exported by default, you must import it explicitly by saying
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(set_progname);
+
+Once you've done that, you can change the logged name of the program
+at any time by calling
+
+ set_progname(new_program_name);
+
+You can set the program back to the default by calling
+
+ set_progname(undef);
+
+Note that this override doesn't happen until after the program has
+compiled, so any compile-time errors will still show up with the
+non-overridden program name
+
=head1 CHANGE LOG
1.05 carpout() added and minor corrections by Marc Hedlund
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.
+ 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.
+
+1.23 ineval() now checks both $^S and inspects the message for the "eval" pattern
+ (hack alert!) in order to accomodate various combinations of Perl and
+ mod_perl.
+
+1.24 Patch from Scott Gifford (sgifford@suspectclass.com): Add support
+ for overriding program name.
