in thread Perl Programmers Don't Die...

:-)

In all of my cgi scripts I use a little custom die subroutine so none of them just die, they die nicely. 

sub dienice {
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" unless $header_printed;
    $header_printed = 1;
    my(@msg) = @_;
    print "<h2>Attention:</h2>\n";
    print join("<br>\n",@msg);
    exit;
}

      I suppose that I should clarify that this isn't for when my scripts die of natural causes, but when I kill them myself, i.e.:
      open ... or &dienice("Can't open: $!");

      Or for viewing troubleshooting data: 
      &dienice(@troubleshooting_data);

      Perhaps I should rename the sub killnice, or maybe KillingMeSoftly?
