| 31 | | | | | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 32 | | | | | |
| 33 | | | | | The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because |
| 34 | | | | | they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more |
| 35 | | | | | likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of |
| 36 | | | | | cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every |
| 37 | | | | | call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use carp, |
| 38 | | | | | croak or shortmess which report the error as being from where |
| 39 | | | | | your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where |
| 40 | | | | | the error was, but it is a good educated guess. |
| 41 | | | | | |
| 42 | | | | | You can also alter the way the output and logic of C<Carp> works, by |
| 43 | | | | | changing some global variables in the C<Carp> namespace. See the |
| 44 | | | | | section on C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> below. |
| 45 | | | | | |
| 46 | | | | | Here is a more complete description of how shortmess works. What |
| 47 | | | | | it does is search the call-stack for a function call stack where |
| 48 | | | | | it hasn't been told that there shouldn't be an error. If every |
| 49 | | | | | call is marked safe, it then gives up and gives a full stack |
| 50 | | | | | backtrace instead. In other words it presumes that the first likely |
| 51 | | | | | looking potential suspect is guilty. Its rules for telling whether |
| 52 | | | | | a call shouldn't generate errors work as follows: |
| 53 | | | | | |
| 54 | | | | | =over 4 |
| 55 | | | | | |
| 56 | | | | | =item 1. |
| 57 | | | | | |
| 58 | | | | | Any call from a package to itself is safe. |
| 59 | | | | | |
| 60 | | | | | =item 2. |
| 61 | | | | | |
| 62 | | | | | Packages claim that there won't be errors on calls to or from |
| 63 | | | | | packages explicitly marked as safe by inclusion in @CARP_NOT, or |
| 64 | | | | | (if that array is empty) @ISA. The ability to override what |
| 65 | | | | | @ISA says is new in 5.8. |
| 66 | | | | | |
| 67 | | | | | =item 3. |
| 68 | | | | | |
| 69 | | | | | The trust in item 2 is transitive. If A trusts B, and B |
| 70 | | | | | trusts C, then A trusts C. So if you do not override @ISA |
| 71 | | | | | with @CARP_NOT, then this trust relationship is identical to, |
| 72 | | | | | "inherits from". |
| 73 | | | | | |
| 74 | | | | | =item 4. |
| 75 | | | | | |
| 76 | | | | | Any call from an internal Perl module is safe. (Nothing keeps |
| 77 | | | | | user modules from marking themselves as internal to Perl, but |
| 78 | | | | | this practice is discouraged.) |
| 79 | | | | | |
| 80 | | | | | =item 5. |
| 81 | | | | | |
| 82 | | | | | Any call to Carp is safe. (This rule is what keeps it from |
| 83 | | | | | reporting the error where you call carp/croak/shortmess.) |
| 84 | | | | | |
| 85 | | | | | =back |
| 86 | | | | | |
| 87 | | | | | =head2 Forcing a Stack Trace |
| 88 | | | | | |
| 89 | | | | | As a debugging aid, you can force Carp to treat a croak as a confess |
| 90 | | | | | and a carp as a cluck across I<all> modules. In other words, force a |
| 91 | | | | | detailed stack trace to be given. This can be very helpful when trying |
| 92 | | | | | to understand why, or from where, a warning or error is being generated. |
| 93 | | | | | |
| 94 | | | | | This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existent symbol |
| 95 | | | | | 'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying |
| 96 | | | | | |
| 97 | | | | | perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl |
| 98 | | | | | |
| 99 | | | | | or by including the string C<MCarp=verbose> in the PERL5OPT |
| 100 | | | | | environment variable. |
| 101 | | | | | |
| 102 | | | | | Alternately, you can set the global variable C<$Carp::Verbose> to true. |
| 103 | | | | | See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below. |

| 116 | | | | | # system. Carp will not report errors from within these packages |
| 117 | | | | | # either, and will not report calls *to* these packages for carp and |
| 118 | | | | | # croak. They replace $CarpLevel, which is deprecated. The |
| 119 | | | | | # $Max(EvalLen|(Arg(Len|Nums)) variables are used to specify how the eval |
| 120 | | | | | # text and function arguments should be formatted when printed. |

| 123 | | | | | # I can not get %CarpInternal or %Internal to work as advertised, |

| 125 | | | | | # $CarpLevel may be decprecated according to the last comment, but |
| 126 | | | | | # after 6 years, it's still around and in heavy use ;) |

| 130 | | | | | =head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES |
| 131 | | | | | |
| 132 | | | | | =head2 $Carp::CarpLevel |
| 133 | | | | | |
| 134 | | | | | This variable determines how many call frames are to be skipped when |
| 135 | | | | | reporting where an error occurred on a call to one of C<Carp>'s |
| 136 | | | | | functions. For example: |
| 137 | | | | | |
| 138 | | | | | $Carp::CarpLevel = 1; |
| 139 | | | | | sub bar { .... or _error('Wrong input') } |
| 140 | | | | | sub _error { Carp::carp(@_) } |
| 141 | | | | | |
| 142 | | | | | This would make Carp report the error as coming from C<bar>'s caller, |
| 143 | | | | | rather than from C<_error>'s caller, as it normally would. |
| 144 | | | | | |
| 145 | | | | | Defaults to C<0>. |
| 146 | | | | | |
| 147 | | | | | =head2 $Carp::MaxEvalLen |
| 148 | | | | | |
| 149 | | | | | This variable determines how many characters of a string-eval are to |
| 150 | | | | | be shown in the output. Use a value of C<0> to show all text. |
| 151 | | | | | |
| 152 | | | | | Defaults to C<0>. |
| 153 | | | | | |
| 154 | | | | | =head2 $Carp::MaxArgLen |
| 155 | | | | | |
| 156 | | | | | This variable determines how many characters of each argument to a |
| 157 | | | | | function to print. Use a value of C<0> to show the full length of the |
| 158 | | | | | argument. |
| 159 | | | | | |
| 160 | | | | | Defaults to C<64>. |
| 161 | | | | | |
| 162 | | | | | =head2 $Carp::MaxArgNums |
| 163 | | | | | |
| 164 | | | | | This variable determines how many arguments to each function to show. |
| 165 | | | | | Use a value of C<0> to show all arguments to a function call. |
| 166 | | | | | |
| 167 | | | | | Defaults to C<8>. |
| 168 | | | | | |
| 169 | | | | | =head2 $Carp::Verbose |
| 170 | | | | | |
| 171 | | | | | This variable makes C<Carp> use the C<longmess> function at all times. |
| 172 | | | | | This effectively means that all calls to C<carp> become C<cluck> and |
| 173 | | | | | all calls to C<croak> become C<confess>. |
| 174 | | | | | |
| 175 | | | | | Note, this is analogous to using C<use Carp 'verbose'>. |
| 176 | | | | | |
| 177 | | | | | Defaults to C<0>. |

| 200 | | | | | |
| 201 | | | | | The Carp routines don't handle exception objects currently. |
| 202 | | | | | If called with a first argument that is a reference, they simply |
| 203 | | | | | call die() or warn(), as appropriate. |
