More often used on the command line: perl -MCarp::Always script.pl =head1 DESCRIPTION This module is meant as a debugging aid. It can be used to make a script complain loudly with stack backtraces when warn()ing or die()ing. Here are how stack backtraces produced by this module looks: # it works for explicit die's and warn's $ perl -MCarp::Always -e 'sub f { die "arghh" }; sub g { f }; g' arghh at -e line 1 main::f() called at -e line 1 main::g() called at -e line 1 # it works for interpreter-thrown failures $ perl -MCarp::Always -w -e 'sub f { $a = shift; @a = @$a };' \ -e 'sub g { f(undef) }; g' Use of uninitialized value in array dereference at -e line 1 main::f('undef') called at -e line 2 main::g() called at -e line 2 In the implementation, the C module does the heavy work, through C. The actual implementation sets the signal hooks C<$SIG{__WARN__}> and C<$SIG{__DIE__}> to emit the stack backtraces. Oh, by the way, C and C when requiring/using the C module are also made verbose, behaving like C and C, respectively. =head2 EXPORT Nothing at all is exported. =head1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This module was born as a reaction to a release of L by Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni. Sébastien also has a newer module called L with the same code and fewer flame comments on docs. The pruning of the uselessly long docs of this module were prodded by Michael Schwern. Schwern and others told me "the module name stinked" - it was called C. After thinking long and not getting nowhere, I went with nuffin's suggestion and now it is called C. C which is now deprecate lives in its own distribution (which won't go anywhere but will stay there as a redirection to this module). =head1 SEE ALSO =over 4 =item * L =item * L and L =item * L =item * L =back Please report bugs via CPAN RT http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Carp-Always. =head1 BUGS Every (un)deserving module has its own pet bugs. =over 4 =item * This module does not play well with other modules which fusses around with C, C, C<$SIG{'__WARN__'}>, C<$SIG{'__DIE__'}>. =item * Test scripts are good.
