bit dodgy under mod_perl. The substitute is just to tell the request to giv=
e
up, it's a bad day.

I never though of it, but either could easily extended to email me without
actually sending much more info than "you better look in the logs, mate"

Not a catalyst app, but mod_perl - my current project has a small &quot;err=
or&quot; module that has a couple of methods :<br><br>warn logs to the erro=
r file with the name of the calling code, but lets the request carry on<br>
fatal logs and terminates the request without killing the process. <br><br>=
