I'm use CGI::Carp on a system I'm developing using CGI::App and
HTML::Template. It has the benefit of being able to log to a
specific file. There are several reasons I use this. First, I don't
want to fill my webserver's error logs with debugging
information. Second, I don't have access to the webserver's error
logs. Third, it lets me put up a custom error page when any of the
modules I use die() on me. Fourth, writing to the log is as easy as
calling warn(). Finally, it lets me write things such as:
$dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM Table") or die("Unable to select data.");
With the file in my own directory, I can also do stuff I'd never do
in the server's error logs, such as logging the entire contents of
every request. It's a low volume system, so this is a manageable
amount of data, and really helps when users report errors, and helps
even more when they DON'T report them.
