Hi monks,

How can I avoid the die in CGI::Carp (fatalToBrowser) print the "Content-type: text/html\n\n" ?

*the set_die_handler is not working :(

    If you use set_die_handler(), you will most likely interfere with the behavior of fatalsToBrowser, so you must use this or that, not both.

    CGI::Carp (fatalsToBrowser) purpose is to send this header, followed by the error message. As your script just died, most probably no header info was yet generated by the server and sending the error message without first giving a header to the server will cause a "500 Internal Server Error".

    So the question now is: why do you want to avoid this header information being generated?

    Update: fixed typo
