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. + +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.) + +=back + +=head2 Forcing a Stack Trace + +As a debugging aid, you can force Carp to treat a croak as a confess +and a carp as a cluck across I modules. In other words, force a +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-existent symbol +'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying + + perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl + +or by including the string C in the PERL5OPT +environment variable. + +=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. =cut -# This package implements handy routines for modules that wish to throw -# exceptions outside of the current package. +# This package is heavily used.

The members of %CarpInternal are internal to Perl's warning +# system.
