You said to use: 

BEGIN {
    if ( ... ) {
        require 'CGI::Carp';
        CGI::Carp->import('fatalsToBrowser');
    }
}

But my perl doesn't like the single quotes. And, since I want to import more than one function, I used "import" directly, resulting in: 

    require CGI::Carp;
    import CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message carpout);
    set_message(\&handle_error);

Next, you said:

I typically test for the existance of $ENV{'SERVER'} or any of the other environmental variables

Problem is, $ENV is completely empty when I run either from the tty or as a cgi. This surprises me, too, frankly. I test for anything, and always get zilch.
