How to debug Perl web applications using only a few brave little pigs (and some Perl modules)

Sometimes debugging Perl web applications can feel like an impossible task: there's a big forest of web servers and databases and third party applications, CPAN modules, and... worst of all... your own code.

Is the only way to find out what happens to send in brave little piggies one by one and see whether they ever come out?

This talk will present various techniques to make you happy (and keep the piggies safe and sound)

* Logging
* Error handling
* Testing
* Documentation
* Benchmarking and profiling
