I decided to play with CAP::DebugScreen (since it uses my CAP::ViewCode and I
was interested to see what someone is doing with my stuff :) and I have to say
that I like it. It's fairly simple and really easy for tracking down fatal
errors with a nice stack trace. Overall it's pretty spiffy :)
However, I did have some problems getting it to work correctly with my setup. I
typically use an ErrorDocument setting in httpd.conf so that all errors are the
same throughout a site. However, CAP::DebugScreen only works if fatal errors are
thrown and it doesn't add a error_mode() but instead uses the 'error' callback.
So while the callback is executed, no error_mode() exists, so C::A simply
croaks() and Apache will serve a different doc, not the one generated by
CAP::DebugScreen.
Attached is a patch that will make CAP::DS add an error_mode during the init
phase instead of the error callback.
But I was wondering about whether this is the right approach or not. In C::A,
the error callback will get executed on errors but it can never trap them.
Should this be the case? The callback will only be able to do things like
logging, etc. Is this the intent?
