I hope I'm in the right place...wasn't too sure based on the faq...

I've written a new module, tentatively called Explode.pm, but have had a heck of a time getting feedback on it. Hardly anyone replied when I asked on comp.lang.perl.misc, my co-workers avoid me, my wife isn't talking to me, no one will help. *cries*

Anyway, Explode.pm is a completed module and is available at http://members.home.net/jimandkoka/perl/Explode.pm. It's obviously not wrapped up into a tidy little distribution yet, but que sera sera. I'm going to refrain from re-posting it since it is a few hundred lines (with lots of docs too!)

Explode handles error reporting in live applications that need to be up constantly and fixed fast if they break. It's used in place of Carp (or just die), and it provides more extensive logging capabilities to an additional log file (other than just your web server log, fer instance) as well as the ability to email an administrator to let them know that something broke.

It should spare a lot of the home-grown solutions to this that I've seen way to much of.

Unless something needs to be changed or added or whatnot, it's ready to be uploaded onto CPAN. I'm just trying to be a good little contributor and get *some* feedback before I go posting a module that nobody wants or is poorly named or something.

Any suggestions are appreciated, of course. :)

Thanks guys.
