CGI::Debug just dumps information to the browser.

What you probably _really_ want (esp for the file upload stuff) is CGI::Capture, which is the anally-retentively-accurate record and playback module for CGI calls.

Add the CGI::Capture line to the script pointing at a file, and after you do the first call to the CGI, it will replay the same request over and over, and if you run the CGI script from the console it will do a whole bunch of checks to make sure you are doing the debugging as accurately as possible.

And because it works at the filehandle level, it isn't even dependant on CGI. You should be able to use it with anything.

• 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).
