Re: CGI::Carp won't send fatalsToBrowser

rewrite - spotted something obvious the second I posted. This seems to work:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

eval {
  require 'foo.pl';
}

if ($@) {
  print "ERROR:\n\n$@";
}
else {
  print "OUTPUT:\n\n";
  print `perl foo.pl`; # that's `, not '
}

I'm probably being thick... but is this in the right thread? If so, cd you elucidate it a little bit for me? § George Sherston	[reply]

All I meant was, if CGI::Carp doesn't seem to work, this little snippet might help. ie. upload it into the same directory, amending the 'foo.pl' (x2) as necessary and look at the output in your browser. Since it evals the script, it traps the error and allows you to send it to the browser. cLive ;-) ps - if you need more inffo on this, why not /msg me...	[reply]

Aha - yes, I geddit, that's very handy. Thanks. BTW, for the benefit of future users of the thread, I found I needed a `;` after <code>eval { require 'foo.pl'; } § George Sherston	[reply] [d/l]
