    Mind you, I'm rather clueless, so take what I say with a ton of salt:

    Try adding a "use Carp;" and an INIT block like "INIT { $SIG{__WARN__ }=sub { carp "Caught it"; } };"

    #!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use Carp; INIT { $SIG{__WARN__}=sub {carp "gotcha!";}; }; my $code_err = q| my @arr; my $i; $arr[$i] = 0; # line 4 within this code snippet |; my $code_ok = q|my $var = ""|; eval $code_ok for (1..8); eval $code_err; # 9th eval, but line 14 in this script E:\><code> gets me <code>E:\>perl example.pl gotcha! at example.pl line 6 main::__ANON__('Use of uninitialized value in array element at + (eval 9) line 4.\x{a}') calle d at (eval 9) line 4 eval ' my @arr; my $i; $arr[$i] = 0; # line 4 within this code snippet ;' called at example.pl line 17 E:\>type example.pl
    clueless
      Now it says Gotcha! at (eval 9) line 86., referer: http://my.server/cgi-bin/mainscript.cgi?feature=a
      but still don't know what :) Is there a way to print the eval argument ?
