- package Carp;
-
- =head1 NAME
-
- carp - warn of errors (from perspective of caller)
-
- cluck - warn of errors with stack backtrace
- (not exported by default)
-
- croak - die of errors (from perspective of caller)
-
- confess - die of errors with stack backtrace
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Carp;
- croak "We're outta here!";
-
- use Carp qw(cluck);
- cluck "This is how we got here!";
-
- =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.
-
- =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<all> 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-existant 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>
- environment variable.
