Re: Perl to Error Log

    Mr. Higgins,

    Just use the following:

    print STDERR localtime(time) . ": this is what the cart is doing right
now.";

    ... where ever you need to output the status.  You also could try
running the script in the shell...


                            Sincerely,

                            Robert Vogt IV
                            CEO
