NAME

CGI::Out - buffer output when building CGI programs

SYNOPSIS

use CGI;
use CGI::Out;

$query = new CGI;
savequery $query;		# to reconstruct input

$CGI::Out::mailto = 'fred';	# override default of $<

out $query->header();
out $query->start_html(
	-title=>'A test',
	-author=>'muir@idiom.com');

croak "We're outta here!";
confess "It was my fault: $!";
carp "It was your fault!";
warn "I'm confused";
die  "I'm dying.\n";

use CGI::Out qw(carpout $out);
carpout(\*LOG);
$CGI::Out::out			# is the buffer

DESCRIPTION

This is a helper routine for building CGI programs. It buffers stdout until you're completed building your output. If you should get an error before you are finished, then it will display a nice error message (in HTML), log the error, and send email about the problem.

It wraps all of the functions provided by CGI::Carp and Carp. Do not "use" them directly, instead just "use CGI::Out".

Instead of print, use out.
