You can use the CGI::Carp module to write error messages to the HTML output
page:
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );
and then use a loop of the form
for my $i ( 1..10 ) {
… # your code
die("Loop 17 did not complete") if $i >= 10;
}
That will put an error message into your output page.
If you are not the one triggering the error, then you will not see the message.
If you want to see anybody's message, you can open a file for logging error
messages and write to it within your program when an error occurs. Where you
open the log file depends upon your server environment.
