in reply to On "fixing" Perl core modules "in place"

this person considers that CGI::Carp produces error messages that would be confusing to most users

Umm ... did the person even bother to read the docs for CGI::Carp:

You may also pass in a code reference in order to create a custom error message. At run time, your code will be called with the text of the error message that caused the script to die. Example:

    use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
    BEGIN {
       sub handle_errors {
          my $msg = shift;
          print "<h1>Oh gosh</h1>";
          print "<p>Got an error: $msg</p>";
      }
      set_message(\&handle_errors);
    }
