Try adding "warn $msg" statements (instead of printing to a file).
Perl's "warn" function prints to STDERR, which is usually appended to the web
server's errors log. To read the errors as they are printed, do the following
(provided you have shell access on your server, and it's running on some kind
of Unix/Linux system):
tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log
(where /var/log/httpd/error_log is the path to your error log).
