Hi,

Can a perl program be instructed not to log errors to the apache error_log file by way of a line of code in the cgi program?

As I understand it, you cannot actually filter what goes into the error_log (unlike the Access Logs) so a block in the cgi program is the way to go.

Why do you want to block it?

Because im getting over 1000 errors a day being logged! The programmer of the script cant nail the problem down so will have to suppress these errors somehow until he finds the fix. The script work perfectly at the users end.

Can error suppression be done for individual scripts?

Sample error:

sub Apache::sys::amazon_2epl::get vs ($) at (eval 551) line 1
Prototype mismatch: sub Apache::ROOTwww_2thissite_2ecom

Eww... is your script using the LWP modules?

I think so - could this be it

eval 'use LWP::Simple qw($ua get)'; if ($@) { print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "Unable to use LWP::Simple and this script cannot function without it.\n"; exit;

I've experienced this type of error before and to fix it I had to upgrade the LWP bundle.

Interesting.

I am actually the only one with these problems using this script so it could well be my system. I'll check if I need an update for this module bundle. Many thanks.
