You could try to use Carp with $SIG{__(DIE|WARN)__}. But mainly read the
perlsec manpage. Also see:
http://perl.apache.org/guide/perl.html#Exception_Handling_for_mod_perl
regarding the catching of exceptions.

Tracking down taint problems
I recently got this error: Insecure dependency in eval while running with -T switch. Callback called exit. Now, yes that tells me that something is wrong. What it doesn't tell me is where the problem is except for the fact that its somewhere in the current module that's being run.

Problem building on Solaris 2.7
I am trying to build mod_perl 1.25 as a DSO on Solaris 2.7 and when I execute perl Makefile.PL, it says I will probably get core dumps and to upgrade to perl 5.6. I am running Perl 5.005_03, the latest considered stable on Solaris 2.7. I cannot upgrade to 5.6 due to heavy perl code already on this machine. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, CC

RE: Cookies in PerlAccessHandlers
You may have a typo in the code provided. Also, you should probably start
using mod_perl methods rather than perl built-in functions.

This should certainly be something like:
my $log = $r->log();
$log->debug("cookie = $cookie");
which would log to the apache error log (with LogLevel set to debug in
httpd.conf). Did you mean to close TEST instead of test?

PerlHandler's don't require a return value (although it's best to do so in
case you want to chain several of them together). PerlAccessHandler's must
return OK, FORBIDDEN or DECLINED.
Hope that helps,
