Jim,
Thanks for your reply. Yes,
that was my post to perlmonks. set_progname() is a function in the Carp module
that lets you set/reset the name of the Carping script; that way you know which
script generated the logged event. Another way is to pass
"name=scriptX" to 'use CGI::Carp'.

The question above was implied; sorry, not ideal for this format. Being more
explicit:
"What is the best way to get CGI::Carp to accurately log the names of Carping
Registry scripts?"
Regarding END{}, my inconclusive tests support this:
