Jeffa; While I dislike disagreeing, I've seen syntax errors in my browser window with CGI::Carp before - I'm 99.9% sure. That .1% of doubt comes from your comments. However, the documentation POD for CGI::Carp states:

"Fatal errors will now be echoed to the browser as well as to the log. CGI::Carp arranges to send a minimal HTTP header to the browser so that even errors that occur in the early compile phase will be seen. Nonfatal errors will still be directed to the log file only (unless redirected with carpout). "

So that would imply compile time (syntax) errors will show up from CGI::Carp.
