Author How do I set a cgi script in debug mode

I have installed the Bugzilla 2.18 with GD installed. The report.cgi
results a broken image when trying to retrieve a graphical report.

So, I am thinking about to run the report.cgi / query.cgi in debug
mode.

Question: What's the syntax in putting a cgi script in debug mode?

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier to do a view source of the HTML that the cgi
outputs, and see what the path is to the image it can't find? Then, fix
your CGI to match the path where it's at, or fix where it's at to match
the path in the CGI.

What color is paint? It depends on too many things. Fix the problem
directly. Find out where your script is looking & make it look at where
the images are, one way or the other.

IIRC, maybe CGI::Carp::fatalsToBrowser would help in this situation.
