It has been modified to +skip all package names matching the pattern given in the "use" statement +inside the "qw()" term (or argument list). +Suppose you have a family of modules or classes named "Pack::A", "Pack::B" and +so on, and each of them uses "Carp::Clan qw(^Pack::);" (or at least the one in +which the error or warning gets raised). +Thus when for example your script "tool.pl" calls module "Pack::A", and module +"Pack::A" calls module "Pack::B", an exception raised in module "Pack::B" will +appear to have originated in "tool.pl" where "Pack::A" was called, and not in +"Pack::A" where "Pack::B" was called, as the unmodified "Carp.pm" would try to +make you believe :-). +This works similarly if "Pack::B" calls "Pack::C" where the exception is +raised, etcetera. +In other words, this blames all errors in the "Pack::*" modules on the user of +these modules, i.e., on you. ;-) + +For more informations, see: +http://search.cpan.org/dist/Carp-Clan/lib/Carp/Clan.pod |
