=head1 NAME
carp - warn of errors (from perspective of caller)
confess - die of errors with stack backtrace
+shortmess - return the message that carp and croak produce
+
+longmess - return the message that cluck and confess produce
+
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Carp;
use Carp qw(cluck);
cluck "This is how we got here!";
+ print FH Carp::shortmess("This will have caller's details added");
+ print FH Carp::longmess("This will have stack backtrace added");
+
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because
-they act like die() or warn(), but report where the error
-was in the code they were called from. Thus if you have a
-routine Foo() that has a carp() in it, then the carp()
-will report the error as occurring where Foo() was called,
-not where carp() was called.
+they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more
+likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of
+cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every
+call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use carp,
+croak or shortmess which report the error as being from where
+your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where
+the error was, but it is a good educated guess.
+
+You can also alter the way the output and logic of C<Carp> works, by
+changing some global variables in the C<Carp> namespace. See the
+section on C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> below.
+
+Here is a more complete description of how shortmess works. What
+it does is search the call-stack for a function call stack where
+it hasn't been told that there shouldn't be an error. If every
+call is marked safe, it then gives up and gives a full stack
+backtrace instead. In other words it presumes that the first likely
+looking potential suspect is guilty. Its rules for telling whether
+a call shouldn't generate errors work as follows:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item 1.
+
+Any call from a package to itself is safe.
+
+=item 2.
+
+Packages claim that there won't be errors on calls to or from
+packages explicitly marked as safe by inclusion in @CARP_NOT, or
+(if that array is empty) @ISA. The ability to override what
+@ISA says is new in 5.8.
+
+=item 3.
+
+The trust in item 2 is transitive. If A trusts B, and B
+trusts C, then A trusts C. So if you do not override @ISA
+with @CARP_NOT, then this trust relationship is identical to,
+"inherits from".
+
+=item 4.
+
+Any call from an internal Perl module is safe. (Nothing keeps
+user modules from marking themselves as internal to Perl, but
+this practice is discouraged.)
+
+=item 5.
+
+Any call to Carp is safe. (This rule is what keeps it from
+reporting the error where you call carp/croak/shortmess.)

=head2 Forcing a Stack Trace
detailed stack trace to be given. This can be very helpful when trying
to understand why, or from where, a warning or error is being generated.
-This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existant symbol
+This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existent symbol
'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying
perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl
-or by including the string C<MCarp=verbose> in the L<PERL5OPT>
+or by including the string C<MCarp=verbose> in the PERL5OPT
environment variable.
-=cut
+Alternately, you can set the global variable C<$Carp::Verbose> to true.
+See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below.

+This variable determines how many call frames are to be skipped when
+reporting where an error occurred on a call to one of C<Carp>'s
+functions. For example:
+
+ $Carp::CarpLevel = 1;
+ sub bar { .... or _error('Wrong input') }
+ sub _error { Carp::carp(@_) }
+
+This would make Carp report the error as coming from C<bar>'s caller,
+rather than from C<_error>'s caller, as it normally would.
+
+Defaults to C<0>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::MaxEvalLen
+
+This variable determines how many characters of a string-eval are to
+be shown in the output. Use a value of C<0> to show all text.
+
+Defaults to C<0>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::MaxArgLen
+
+This variable determines how many characters of each argument to a
+function to print. Use a value of C<0> to show the full length of the
+argument.
+
+Defaults to C<64>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::MaxArgNums
+
+This variable determines how many arguments to each function to show.
+Use a value of C<0> to show all arguments to a function call.
+
+Defaults to C<8>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::Verbose
+
+This variable makes C<Carp> use the C<longmess> function at all times.
+This effectively means that all calls to C<carp> become C<cluck> and
+all calls to C<croak> become C<confess>.
+
+Note, this is analogous to using C<use Carp 'verbose'>.
+
+Defaults to C<0>.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The Carp routines don't handle exception objects currently.
+If called with a first argument that is a reference, they simply
+call die() or warn(), as appropriate.
