Well, part of what is confusing me was that in the Carp Documentation, I found this bit of code:

   BEGIN {
     use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
     open(LOG, ">>/usr/local/cgi-logs/mycgi-log") or
       die("Unable to open mycgi-log: $!\n");
     carpout(LOG);
   }

Which, according to the documentation, catches compile time errors and writes them to a filehandle. So I figured the same could be done and use a filehandle to write to the browser. Am I wrong?
