Perl, Software | Perl: How to debug in Perl?

Turn on warnings by
use warning;

To run a perl script with warnings, type -w with the shebang as in
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print “Content-type: text/html\n\n”;
print “Hello World\n”;

Check if you have the following line in the program
print “Content-type: text/html\n\n”;
This will output the text to the browser from the server.

Print error messages to the browser using
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

The other way is to use the print command to debug your program.
