I am new to deployment. Today i did dancer via plack on apache for the first time on my server,so I don't really understand this.
With environment, I mean environments/production.yaml environments/development.yaml
I think by default development has log settings.
Thanks Maurice. However, I did mention in my first email that I have the following in my development.yml
development.yml --------------------- log : "debug" warnings : 1 show_errors : 1
Maybe that helps a little.

two vague ideas
are you sure you are not overwriting those logging settings in the environment file?
What is the "environment file"? As far as I know, I don't have any.
And, I just found helpful error messages in error_log created by my apache. In other words, maybe there is a deployment specific error log somewhere in your setup (even if you are using a different deployment method).
Well, as I mentioned in my email, there are a few errors that do show up in the app-error_log generated by Apache. However, I can't figure out any pattern to which errors show up there and which don't. I guess it has to do with what traps the error.
For example, the last error in my app-error_log is from last night
[Mon Jan 03 22:08:14 2011] [error]...
I had made a typo, and it was caught at compile time. I am assuming the run time errors are getting lost in the ether. I have had lots of errors since last night (for example, the aforementioned wrong permission on a directory I was trying to write into). None of those show up anywhere... not in the Apache log, not in occasional errors returned in Firebug, and not in development.log.

Yet, no detailed warnings or errors are shown anywhere. If I add a specific debug statement, then that shows up in the "development.log." A few warnings do show up from time to time in the Apache log. I can't place a pattern on it -- some kinds of errors show up in the Apache log, some, at times, are returned in the http response and are visible in Firebug, and some don't show up at all.
For example, I had the following simple
open my $fh, ">", $file or die "$file: $!\n";
There was a permission problem, and the `open` command was die-ing, but the error was not visible anywhere. I changed the line to
open my $fh, ">", $file or debug "$file: $!\n";
and I got the error "permission denied" in my development.log.
The above is a simple instance. I am actually using PDL (Perl Data Language) for munging through large datasets to display in the web application. None of my PDL errors are showing up in any log. The only alternative for me is to very tediously insert the `debug` command in different places until I determine what command is breaking.
Any suggestions on how I could get detailed warnings and errors consistently in one place?
