=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
|
|
|
|
FileHandle and other objects work as well.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
=head2 Changing the default message
|
|
|
|
By default, the software error message is followed by a note to
|
|
contact the Webmaster by e-mail with the time and date of the error.
|
|
If this message is not to your liking, you can change it using the
|
|
set_message() routine. This is not imported by default; you should
|
|
import it on the use() line:
|
|
|
|
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
|
|
set_message("It's not a bug, it's a feature!");
|
|
|
|
You may also pass in a code reference in order to create a custom
|
|
error message. At run time, your code will be called with the text
|
|
of the error message that caused the script to die. Example:
|
|
|
|
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
|
|
BEGIN {
|
|
sub handle_errors {
|
|
my $msg = shift;
|
|
print "<h1>Oh gosh</h1>";
|
|
print "Got an error: $msg";
|
|
}
|
|
set_message(\&handle_errors);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
In order to correctly intercept compile-time errors, you should call
|
|
set_message() from within a BEGIN{} block.
|
|

=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.
|
|
|
|
1.08 set_message() added and carpout() expanded to allow for FileHandle
|
|
objects.
|
|
|
|
1.09 set_message() now allows users to pass a code REFERENCE for
|
|
really custom error messages. croak and carp are now
|
|
exported by default. Thanks to Gunther Birznieks for the
|
|
patches.
|
|
|
|
1.10 Patch from Chris Dean (ctdean@cogit.com) to allow
|
|
module to run correctly under mod_perl.
