[freeside] Getting mod_perl to work

[ivan]

I've never seen an error message like that before.

Line 71 of cust_main.cgi is:

  use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);

I've seen mod_perl mess up line numbers, so that might be off.  In any
case, try to isolate the problem to the specific statment that is causing
the problem, i.e. make a script that's nothing but that line, and see if
you can trigger the error.

Once you've got a simple program that demonstrates the error, post it and
a complete description of your problem to the mod_perl mailing list.  Let
us know what you find out.
