Megawatt Monks,

I have a long script that retrieves data from a Mysql DB of user data then outputs it to browser using Template Toolkit. Everything works fine most of the time, but I came across one user record for which the script hangs, then times out to a 'misconfiguration' error. I telnet the db and see this record has some info few others have - maybe it's a data format problem or something like that.

So to the top of my script I add: 

  BEGIN {
         use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
         carpout(STDOUT);
   }

[download]
Suddenly the script runs perfectly for the user record in question, and no errors are output. Nada.

Any general ideas on what kind of effect having this snippet in there has that it would have this effect?

Thanks.

In reply to Carpout makes script run, but outputs no errors? by punch_card_don
