Actually, is there a standard way to do this in git with Perl

this into Perl? Carp? Warn? Log::Any? Log4perl?

No, not really.  From a quick glance at some of the existing perl code in git,
a lot of it continues to use "print STDERR" -- but then to be fair, a lot of
the perl code also reads like it has been written by C programmers...

While there's nothing wrong with using "print STDERR", it's probably wiser to
transition this to using Carp in the long run -- it would decrease the
round-trip time to debugging should there be a situation where that was
needed, and hence I would recommend using "warn" for less-severe
errors/debugging.
