any Carp() will be output to STDERR which in the case of a cgi script the
error log. Any STDOUT by default would go to the web client, although
this might not always be the case (mod_perl might not, unless you
are using Apache::Registry () )
You might want to look into CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrower) which is great
on a dev server where you want to see these messages. Alternatively
you can look into the Apache ScriptLog directive to debug your CGI
scripts. CGI::Carp will provide the appropriate Content-Type header
to make browers happy.
Usually the server prints a "500 Internal Server Error" status and
doesn't print your broken script output to the user for security reasons.
For modperl info see http://perl.apache.org/guide/porting.html#die_and_mod_perl
