Monks,

Error message retrieval from IIS using PerlScript is a pain. IIS does not log its errors to a STDERR, only to STDOUT. If you recieve an error in your PerlScript, it only goes the the browser, and is not sent to a log file. There is no time stamp associated with the error either.

I need to capture the IIS error message in a log file. I have tried useing Win32::ASP::AddDeathHooks(...) but that only works if you call the die() function (as opposed to if you write my $quotient = 4/0).

Has anyone out there had experiance trying to capture IIS error messages? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you,

Kristofer Hoch
