The problem here is that the print typo is a compile-time error, which will occur before any part of your perl script is run; therefore Carp has no possibility of catching these types of errors. Instead, Carp can only
catch run-time errors generated by die, warn, and the various flavors of those; these only occur after the program has been successfully compiled.
The way to work with Carp and perl scripts then is to first do edits of the script, then run the script from the command line. Any errors, including those caught by -w and use strict; should appear then, which you can then fix. You can then use the browser to find other error detections that Carp will pick up.
