If you develop a Perl program in a CGI

use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';

It will make the browser display more meaningful error messages.

That may not always be a good habit, since the error messages are meaningful
only to the programmer:

Plus it can provide information about the program, which could possibly
be used to exploit security holes in the program by crackers.

Therefore, as you said: don't use in production code.
