Debugging scripts

Regardless which language you use, debugging your programs becomes different from traditional debugging, since much of the interaction is not between yourself and the program but between the www-server and your program. There are two ways around.

• You can still run your program in a console (within a debugger) and simulate cgi-input. The cgihtml provides such a mode.
• If you use the Apache server, the run-time directive ScriptLog logs a lot of information.
