I don't mind leaving FatalstoBrowser on either because I, too, program mostly just for internal customers. I like your term "warning chaff."
The stuff I see that irks me is stuff like the following line, repeated with the exact timestamp and line numbers/FH names like 20-50 times:
[Mon Sep 25 15:33:37 2006] securityQuery.cgi: Use of uninitialized val
+ue in concatenation (.) or string at /var/appl/httpd/cgi-bin/ms/secur
+ity/securityQuery.cgi line 154, FILE line 122.
Sorry, feeling a little grumpy today. Also I used to be one of the worse offenders.
I just thought of one last tip--if you do use CGI:Carp and want to send warnings to the browser, don't forget to put your
warningsToBrowser(1);
statement after you've written the headers.
