I'm using the following code...

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

use strict;
use warnings;

use lib ( "$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/../lib", "$ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}/../..
+/prod/lib" );

use Bod::CRM;
use Site::Utils;

die "X - " . $file{'receipt', 'file'};

[download]

The variable $file{'receipt', 'file'} is defined using our and exported with Exporter in the private module Site::Utils.

Different die statements give very different results
die "here!"; - CGI::Carp works as expected
die "X - " . $xxx; - CGI::Carp works as expected - global symbol $xxx requires...
die "X - " . $file{'receipt', 'file'}; - CGI::Carp doesn't write anything to the browser - I just get a 500 error from the browser.

How can this be?

In reply to CGI::Carp sometimes fails by Bod
