Hi All, I've just had the pleasure of a couple of colleagues trying to install our CGI::Application based project, and realised I could improve the basic error messages displayed to the user at this stage.
Common errors are: 1) So and so CPAN module is not found 2) Config file not found (ConfigAuto - in cgiapp_init) currently these produce an ugly 500 Server Error and loeave you searching in the apache log for the problem. For 1) is there a better way than: use Data::Dumper; use XML::Simple; use Date::Manip; use HTML::FromText; etc that will safely try to load the modules needed and allow me to report via a nice formatted error page what's wrong? 2) If I hit an error in cgiapp_init, is there a way to redirect to an error page, as per prerun_mode() ?
