Sorry,
I didn't explain my question well. But thanks for all the response.
I left "my" out of my example on purpose, to illustrate a typical (in my case)
programming error.
To restate what I'm asking:
Is there any way to redirect everything that would normally be sent to the
screen, when I run from the command line, to an HTML page when I call my script
from the browser (on a script by script basis).
I've tried the suggestions so far:
cgi::carp
http://perl.apache.org/guide/snippets.html#Redirecting_Errors_to_the_Client
BEGIN { print "Content-Type: text/plain\n\n"; *STDERR = *STDOUT }
None of these methods will print the diagnostic messages, and typically only
print the line number at which I died.
I'm not in a production environment, so I don't mind getting a bunch of ugly
errors to my browser.
Thanks again
Jay
