For some reason, I cannot stand to see it not written as

BEGIN {
    use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
    carpout(\*LOGGY) if open(LOGGY,'>>'.__FILE__.'.err.log');

}
[download]

I just felt I had to share that.

update: weeeel, S_Shrum, i'd either carpout(\*STDOUT); or make warnings fatal and stick with fatalsToBrowser, like (and this works a little weird)

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings FATAL => qw( all );
warn "hello there";
{ # line 4 (notice its in a block)
  BAREWORD;
  BAREWORD;
  BAREWORD;
}
[download]

or more portable (warnings pragma ain't available everywhere)

#!/usr/bin/perl
$SIG{__WARN__} = sub {die("warning: ",@_)};
warn "hello";
__END__
[download]

or better yet

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
use Fatal qw( warn );
use strict;
use warnings;
warn "hello";
[download]

and maybe

BEGIN {
   use vars qw( $WARR );
   $SIG{__WARN__} = sub {
                $WARR .= join ' ',(@_),caller(),"\n";
            };
}
warn "hello";
warn "hooyah";
die "aaah";

# ...
END {
    print "Content-Type: text-html\r\n\r\n <pre> $WARR </pre>";
}

Reccomended reading is warnings, perllexwarn, sigtrap, Perl's Warn and Die Signals.

• 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.
