I looked at the piece of code that you mentioned and maybe part of the problem is that I am using cpan:://CGI::Application::Plugin::TT The plugin does not mention much in reference to Template errors except that I can have an 'Error' runmode to display the an error template.

I was hoping there was a variable that could be set when initializing the Template configuration that would force the template to die with the error message or stick the error in a value that is accessible by the template.

Update: I am also wondering if might have to do with the way CGI::Application handles carp calls on a Win32 box. I looked at the source code for the plugin and it calls croak which, I don't think should be a problem, but I am not sure how it is being handled.

Update 2: Evidently CGI::Application does its own eval on executed code and sticks in the $@ variable and will call the error runmode. I cannot wait to get home to see if this works.
