ABSTRACT
This is a small module accompanying the CGI module, providing the display of an error screen (somewhat resembling the classical red-on-black blinking Guru Meditation from the good-old AmigaOS before version 2.04) in case of abnormal termination of a CGI.
The module simply installs a $SIG{__DIE__} handler which sends a HTTP response showing a HTML/CSS based screen which optionally includes the Perl run-time error message, an excerpt from the CGI source code and the Perl run-time environment variables. This provides both optically more pleasant and functionally more elaborate error messages for CGIs.
This module supports both the regular CGI and the Apache/mod_perl CGI environment.
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
