>  Perl's "warn" function prints to STDERR, which is usually appended to the web server's err
ors log.  To read the errors as they are printed, do the following (provided you have shell 
access on your server, and it's running on some kind of Unix/Linux system):
>  
>  tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

Apache's log entries are escaped, so it makes it difficult to read
multi-line output (eg) Data::Dumper output.

You can make them more readable with:

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log | perl -pe 's/\\n/\n/g'
