Strictly to add tools to your web debugging set -- a way to capture your Perl errors when running stuff on a remote web server where you might not have easy access to web logs, you could use evalto write them to a log file (which usually lands by default in your cgi directory but you'll have to sort that one out yourself).
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
eval
{
[... do stuff ...]
} ; # End eval{} error trap set REQUIRES a semicolon
if ($@)
{
my $dsperr = $@;
my $logsse = time;
open ERRLOG, '>>', 'myerror.log';
print ERRLOG "$logsse $dsperr\n";
close ERRLOG;
}
exit;
