3=head1 NAME

5B<CGI::Carp> - CGI routines for writing to the HTTPD (or other) error log
6
7=head1 SYNOPSIS
8
9 use CGI::Carp;
10
11 croak "We're outta here!";
12 confess "It was my fault: $!";
13 carp "It was your fault!";
14 warn "I'm confused";
15 die "I'm dying.\n";
16
17 use CGI::Carp qw(cluck);
18 cluck "I wouldn't do that if I were you";
19
20 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
21 die "Fatal error messages are now sent to browser";
22
23=head1 DESCRIPTION
24
25CGI scripts have a nasty habit of leaving warning messages in the error
26logs that are neither time stamped nor fully identified. Tracking down
27the script that caused the error is a pain. This fixes that. Replace
28the usual
29
30 use Carp;
31
32with
33
34 use CGI::Carp
35
36And the standard warn(), die (), croak(), confess() and carp() calls
37will automagically be replaced with functions that write out nicely
38time-stamped messages to the HTTP server error log.
39
40For example:
41
42 [Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: I'm confused at test.pl line 3.
43 [Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: Got an error message: Permission denied.
44 [Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: I'm dying.
45
46=head1 REDIRECTING ERROR MESSAGES
47
48By default, error messages are sent to STDERR. Most HTTPD servers
49direct STDERR to the server's error log. Some applications may wish
50to keep private error logs, distinct from the server's error log, or
51they may wish to direct error messages to STDOUT so that the browser
52will receive them.
53
54The C<carpout()> function is provided for this purpose. Since
55carpout() is not exported by default, you must import it explicitly by
56saying
57
58 use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
59
60The carpout() function requires one argument, which should be a
61reference to an open filehandle for writing errors. It should be
62called in a C<BEGIN> block at the top of the CGI application so that
63compiler errors will be caught. Example:
64
65 BEGIN {
66 use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
67 open(LOG, ">>/usr/local/cgi-logs/mycgi-log") or
68 die("Unable to open mycgi-log: $!\n");
69 carpout(LOG);
70 }
71
72carpout() does not handle file locking on the log for you at this point.
73
74The real STDERR is not closed -- it is moved to CGI::Carp::SAVEERR. Some
75servers, when dealing with CGI scripts, close their connection to the
76browser when the script closes STDOUT and STDERR. CGI::Carp::SAVEERR is there to
77prevent this from happening prematurely.
78
79You can pass filehandles to carpout() in a variety of ways. The "correct"
80way according to Tom Christiansen is to pass a reference to a filehandle
81GLOB:
82
83 carpout(\*LOG);
84
85This looks weird to mere mortals however, so the following syntaxes are
86accepted as well:
87
88 carpout(LOG);
89 carpout(main::LOG);
90 carpout(main'LOG);
91 carpout(\LOG);
92 carpout(\'main::LOG');
93
94 ... and so on
95
96FileHandle and other objects work as well.
97
98Use of carpout() is not great for performance, so it is recommended
99for debugging purposes or for moderate-use applications. A future
100version of this module may delay redirecting STDERR until one of the
101CGI::Carp methods is called to prevent the performance hit.
102
103=head1 MAKING PERL ERRORS APPEAR IN THE BROWSER WINDOW
104
105If you want to send fatal (die, confess) errors to the browser, ask to
106import the special "fatalsToBrowser" subroutine:
107
108 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
109 die "Bad error here";
110
111Fatal errors will now be echoed to the browser as well as to the log. CGI::Carp
112arranges to send a minimal HTTP header to the browser so that even errors that
113occur in the early compile phase will be seen.
114Nonfatal errors will still be directed to the log file only (unless redirected
115with carpout).
116
117=head2 Changing the default message
118
119By default, the software error message is followed by a note to
120contact the Webmaster by e-mail with the time and date of the error.
121If this message is not to your liking, you can change it using the
122set_message() routine. This is not imported by default; you should
123import it on the use() line:
124
125 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
126 set_message("It's not a bug, it's a feature!");
127
128You may also pass in a code reference in order to create a custom
129error message. At run time, your code will be called with the text
130of the error message that caused the script to die. Example:
131
132 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
133 BEGIN {
134 sub handle_errors {
135 my $msg = shift;
136 print "<h1>Oh gosh</h1>";
137 print "<p>Got an error: $msg</p>";
138 }
139 set_message(\&handle_errors);
140 }
141
142In order to correctly intercept compile-time errors, you should call
143set_message() from within a BEGIN{} block.
144
145=head1 MAKING WARNINGS APPEAR AS HTML COMMENTS
146
147It is now also possible to make non-fatal errors appear as HTML
148comments embedded in the output of your program. To enable this
149feature, export the new "warningsToBrowser" subroutine. Since sending
150warnings to the browser before the HTTP headers have been sent would
151cause an error, any warnings are stored in an internal buffer until
152you call the warningsToBrowser() subroutine with a true argument:
153
154 use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser warningsToBrowser);
155 use CGI qw(:standard);
156 print header();
157 warningsToBrowser(1);
158
159You may also give a false argument to warningsToBrowser() to prevent
160warnings from being sent to the browser while you are printing some
161content where HTML comments are not allowed:
162
163 warningsToBrowser(0); # disable warnings
164 print "<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--\n";
165 print_some_javascript_code();
166 print "//--></script>\n";
167 warningsToBrowser(1); # re-enable warnings
168
169Note: In this respect warningsToBrowser() differs fundamentally from
170fatalsToBrowser(), which you should never call yourself!
171
172=head1 CHANGE LOG
173
1741.05 carpout() added and minor corrections by Marc Hedlund
175 <hedlund@best.com> on 11/26/95.
176
1771.06 fatalsToBrowser() no longer aborts for fatal errors within
178 eval() statements.
179
1801.08 set_message() added and carpout() expanded to allow for FileHandle
181 objects.
182
1831.09 set_message() now allows users to pass a code REFERENCE for
184 really custom error messages. croak and carp are now
185 exported by default. Thanks to Gunther Birznieks for the
186 patches.
187
1881.10 Patch from Chris Dean (ctdean@cogit.com) to allow
189 module to run correctly under mod_perl.
190
1911.11 Changed order of &gt; and &lt; escapes.
192
1931.12 Changed die() on line 217 to CORE::die to avoid B<-w> warning.
194
1951.13 Added cluck() to make the module orthogonal with Carp.
196 More mod_perl related fixes.
197
1981.20 Patch from Ilmari Karonen (perl@itz.pp.sci.fi): Added
199 warningsToBrowser(). Replaced <CODE> tags with <PRE> in
200 fatalsToBrowser() output.
201
2021.23 ineval() now checks both $^S and inspects the message for the "eval" pattern
203 (hack alert!) in order to accomodate various combinations of Perl and
204 mod_perl.
