I've come across this issue a few times in my Perl life time, but previously I've always been able to fix it after messing with the code for long enough. Right now however its not happening at all and I don't have alot of time to manually debug the whole script.

Anyway, my point is that I'm using CGI::Carp but yet I still am getting 500 Internal Server Error in the browser. Below is the brief snippit of code that includes the module: 


###########  TO IMPLEMENT
# Build in formatting

use DBI;
use CGI;
use CGI::Cookie;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

#open new cgi
$q = new CGI;

Incase anyone suggests it the module does exist, and I've run the script successfully before but this time some of the parameters are causing it to fail.

Is there anything that causes CGI::Carp not to work and just return the usual 500 server error ? Is there any other way I can forceable return errors to the browser ?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
