+package CGI::Carp;
+
+=head1 NAME
+
+B<CGI::Carp> - CGI routines for writing to the HTTPD (or other) error log
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use CGI::Carp;
+
+ croak "We're outta here!";
+ confess "It was my fault: $!";
+ carp "It was your fault!";
+ warn "I'm confused";
+ die "I'm dying.\n";
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+CGI scripts have a nasty habit of leaving warning messages in the error
+logs that are neither time stamped nor fully identified. Tracking down
+the script that caused the error is a pain. This fixes that. Replace
+the usual
+
+ use Carp;
+
+with
+
+ use CGI::Carp
+
+And the standard warn(), die (), croak(), confess() and carp() calls
+will automagically be replaced with functions that write out nicely
+time-stamped messages to the HTTP server error log.
+
+For example:
+
+ [Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: I'm confused at test.pl line 3.
+ [Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: Got an error message: Permission denied.
+ [Fri Nov 17 21:40:43 1995] test.pl: I'm dying.
+
+=head1 REDIRECTING ERROR MESSAGES
+
+By default, error messages are sent to STDERR. Most HTTPD servers
+direct STDERR to the server's error log. Some applications may wish
+to keep private error logs, distinct from the server's error log, or
+they may wish to direct error messages to STDOUT so that the browser
+will receive them.
+
+The C<carpout()> function is provided for this purpose. Since
+carpout() is not exported by default, you must import it explicitly by
+saying
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
+
+The carpout() function requires one argument, which should be a
+reference to an open filehandle for writing errors. It should be
+called in a C<BEGIN> block at the top of the CGI application so that
+compiler errors will be caught. Example:
+
+ BEGIN {
+ use CGI::Carp qw(carpout);
+ open(LOG, ">>/usr/local/cgi-logs/mycgi-log") or
+ die("Unable to open mycgi-log: $!\n");
+ carpout(LOG);
+ }
+
+carpout() does not handle file locking on the log for you at this point.
+
+The real STDERR is not closed -- it is moved to SAVEERR. Some
+servers, when dealing with CGI scripts, close their connection to the
+browser when the script closes STDOUT and STDERR. SAVEERR is used to
+prevent this from happening prematurely.
+
+You can pass filehandles to carpout() in a variety of ways. The "correct"
+way according to Tom Christiansen is to pass a reference to a filehandle
+GLOB:
+
+ carpout(\*LOG);
+
+This looks weird to mere mortals however, so the following syntaxes are
+accepted as well:
+
+ carpout(LOG);
+ carpout(main::LOG);
+ carpout(main'LOG);
+ carpout(\LOG);
+ carpout(\'main::LOG');
+
+ ... and so on
+
+Use of carpout() is not great for performance, so it is recommended
+for debugging purposes or for moderate-use applications. A future
+version of this module may delay redirecting STDERR until one of the
+CGI::Carp methods is called to prevent the performance hit.
+
+=head1 MAKING PERL ERRORS APPEAR IN THE BROWSER WINDOW
+
+If you want to send fatal (die, confess) errors to the browser, ask to
+import the special "fatalsToBrowser" subroutine:
+
+ use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
+ die "Bad error here";
+
+Fatal errors will now be echoed to the browser as well as to the log. CGI::Carp
+arranges to send a minimal HTTP header to the browser so that even errors that
+occur in the early compile phase will be seen.
+Nonfatal errors will still be directed to the log file only (unless redirected
+with carpout).
+
+=head1 CHANGE LOG
+
+1.05 carpout() added and minor corrections by Marc Hedlund
+ <hedlund@best.com> on 11/26/95.
+
+1.06 fatalsToBrowser() no longer aborts for fatal errors within
+ eval() statements.
