| 3 | Carp - alternative warn and die for modules | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because they act like | |
| 8 | die() or warn(), but with a message which is more likely to be useful | |
| 9 | to a user of your module. In the case of cluck, confess, and longmess | |
| 10 | that context is a summary of every call in the call-stack. For a shorter | |
| 11 | message you can use carp or croak which report the error as being from | |
| 12 | where your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where | |
| 13 | the error was, but it is a good educated guess. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | You can also alter the way the output and logic of Carp works, by changing | |
| 16 | some global variables in the Carp namespace. | |

| 25 | AUTHOR | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | The Carp module first appeared in Larry Wall's perl 5.000 distribution. | |
| 28 | Since then it has been modified by several of the perl 5 porters. | |
| 29 | Andrew Main (Zefram) <zefram@fysh.org> divested Carp into an independent | |
| 30 | distribution. | |
