in reply to Die nicely

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

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
