I apologize for not having the rest of your thread, but don't forget
that CGI::Carp can be used, one use is in the set_message routine

use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser set_message);
set_message("Please report details of this error to <a
 href=\"mailto:me\@somwhere.org\">me\@somewhere.org</a>. Thankyou.");

It may not be applicable to your case, so FWIW
