I've never used IIS so if this doesn't help, please ignore it.

Never the less, you can tell CGI::Carp to send it's error messages to a file you specify if you want, and that might help with this point:

IIS doesn't send CGI::Carp messages to the log file, but directly to the browser.

You can do this by:

use CGI::Carp qw/carpout/;
use FileHandle;

my $fh = new FileHandle;  
$fh->open("logfile.log") or die "Failed to open logfile: $!";

carpout($fh);

Wrap this in a BEGIN block if you want to send any compilation errors to your file as well.

Of course, if you don't like FileHandle, you can open a standard filehandle and pass that to carpout too. Read the docs.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
