63 | | | | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
64 | | | | |
65 | | | | use Carp; |
66 | | | | croak "We're outta here!"; |
67 | | | | |
68 | | | | use Carp qw(cluck); |
69 | | | | cluck "This is how we got here!"; |
70 | | | | |
71 | | | | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
72 | | | | |
73 | | | | The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because |
74 | | | | they act like die() or warn(), but with a message which is more |
75 | | | | likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case of |
76 | | | | cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every |
77 | | | | call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use C<carp> |
78 | | | | or C<croak> which report the error as being from where your module |
79 | | | | was called. There is no guarantee that that is where the error |
80 | | | | was, but it is a good educated guess. |
81 | | | | |
82 | | | | You can also alter the way the output and logic of C<Carp> works, by |
83 | | | | changing some global variables in the C<Carp> namespace. See the |
84 | | | | section on C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> below. |
85 | | | | |
86 | | | | Here is a more complete description of how c<carp> and c<croak> work. |
87 | | | | What they do is search the call-stack for a function call stack where |
88 | | | | they have not been told that there shouldn't be an error. If every |
89 | | | | call is marked safe, they give up and give a full stack backtrace |
90 | | | | instead. In other words they presume that the first likely looking |
91 | | | | potential suspect is guilty. Their rules for telling whether |
92 | | | | a call shouldn't generate errors work as follows: |
93 | | | | |
94 | | | | =over 4 |
95 | | | | |
96 | | | | =item 1. |
97 | | | | |
98 | | | | Any call from a package to itself is safe. |
99 | | | | |
100 | | | | =item 2. |
101 | | | | |
102 | | | | Packages claim that there won't be errors on calls to or from |
103 | | | | packages explicitly marked as safe by inclusion in C<@CARP_NOT>, or |
104 | | | | (if that array is empty) C<@ISA>. The ability to override what |
105 | | | | @ISA says is new in 5.8. |
106 | | | | |
107 | | | | =item 3. |
108 | | | | |
109 | | | | The trust in item 2 is transitive. If A trusts B, and B |
110 | | | | trusts C, then A trusts C. So if you do not override C<@ISA> |
111 | | | | with C<@CARP_NOT>, then this trust relationship is identical to, |
112 | | | | "inherits from". |
113 | | | | |
114 | | | | =item 4. |
115 | | | | |
116 | | | | Any call from an internal Perl module is safe. (Nothing keeps |
117 | | | | user modules from marking themselves as internal to Perl, but |
118 | | | | this practice is discouraged.) |
119 | | | | |
120 | | | | =item 5. |
121 | | | | |
122 | | | | Any call to Perl's warning system (eg Carp itself) is safe. |
123 | | | | (This rule is what keeps it from reporting the error at the |
124 | | | | point where you call C<carp> or C<croak>.) |
125 | | | | |
126 | | | | =item 6. |
127 | | | | |
128 | | | | C<$Carp::CarpLevel> can be set to skip a fixed number of additional |
129 | | | | call levels. Using this is not recommended because it is very |
130 | | | | difficult to get it to behave correctly. |
131 | | | | |
132 | | | | =back |
133 | | | | |
134 | | | | =head2 Forcing a Stack Trace |
135 | | | | |
136 | | | | As a debugging aid, you can force Carp to treat a croak as a confess |
137 | | | | and a carp as a cluck across I<all> modules. In other words, force a |
138 | | | | detailed stack trace to be given. This can be very helpful when trying |
139 | | | | to understand why, or from where, a warning or error is being generated. |
140 | | | | |
141 | | | | This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existent symbol |
142 | | | | 'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying |
143 | | | | |
144 | | | | perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl |
145 | | | | |
146 | | | | or by including the string C<MCarp=verbose> in the PERL5OPT |
147 | | | | environment variable. |
148 | | | | |
149 | | | | Alternately, you can set the global variable C<$Carp::Verbose> to true. |
150 | | | | See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below. |
151 | | | | |
152 | | | | =head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES |
153 | | | | |
154 | | | | =head2 $Carp::MaxEvalLen |
155 | | | | |
156 | | | | This variable determines how many characters of a string-eval are to |
157 | | | | be shown in the output. Use a value of C<0> to show all text. |
158 | | | | |
159 | | | | Defaults to C<0>. |
160 | | | | |
161 | | | | =head2 $Carp::MaxArgLen |
162 | | | | |
163 | | | | This variable determines how many characters of each argument to a |
164 | | | | function to print. Use a value of C<0> to show the full length of the |
165 | | | | argument. |
166 | | | | |
167 | | | | Defaults to C<64>. |
168 | | | | |
169 | | | | =head2 $Carp::MaxArgNums |
170 | | | | |
171 | | | | This variable determines how many arguments to each function to show. |
172 | | | | Use a value of C<0> to show all arguments to a function call. |
173 | | | | |
174 | | | | Defaults to C<8>. |
175 | | | | |
176 | | | | =head2 $Carp::Verbose |
177 | | | | |
178 | | | | This variable makes C<carp> and C<cluck> generate stack backtraces |
179 | | | | just like C<cluck> and C<confess>. This is how C<use Carp 'verbose'> |
180 | | | | is implemented internally. |
181 | | | | |
182 | | | | Defaults to C<0>. |
183 | | | | |
184 | | | | =head2 %Carp::Internal |
185 | | | | |
186 | | | | This says what packages are internal to Perl. C<Carp> will never |
187 | | | | report an error as being from a line in a package that is internal to |
188 | | | | Perl. For example: |
189 | | | | |
190 | | | | $Carp::Internal{ __PACKAGE__ }++; |
191 | | | | # time passes... |
192 | | | | sub foo { ... or confess("whatever") }; |
193 | | | | |
194 | | | | would give a full stack backtrace starting from the first caller |
195 | | | | outside of __PACKAGE__. (Unless that package was also internal to |
196 | | | | Perl.) |
197 | | | | |
198 | | | | =head2 %Carp::CarpInternal |
199 | | | | |
200 | | | | This says which packages are internal to Perl's warning system. For |
201 | | | | generating a full stack backtrace this is the same as being internal |
202 | | | | to Perl, the stack backtrace will not start inside packages that are |
203 | | | | listed in C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. But it is slightly different for |
204 | | | | the summary message generated by C<carp> or C<croak>. There errors |
205 | | | | will not be reported on any lines that are calling packages in |
206 | | | | C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. |
207 | | | | |
208 | | | | For example C<Carp> itself is listed in C<%Carp::CarpInternal>. |
209 | | | | Therefore the full stack backtrace from C<confess> will not start |
210 | | | | inside of C<Carp>, and the short message from calling C<croak> is |
211 | | | | not placed on the line where C<croak> was called. |
212 | | | | |
213 | | | | =head2 $Carp::CarpLevel |
214 | | | | |
215 | | | | This variable determines how many additional call frames are to be |
216 | | | | skipped that would not otherwise be when reporting where an error |
217 | | | | occurred on a call to one of C<Carp>'s functions. It is fairly easy |
218 | | | | to count these call frames on calls that generate a full stack |
219 | | | | backtrace. However it is much harder to do this accounting for calls |
220 | | | | that generate a short message. Usually people skip too many call |
221 | | | | frames. If they are lucky they skip enough that C<Carp> goes all of |
222 | | | | the way through the call stack, realizes that something is wrong, and |
223 | | | | then generates a full stack backtrace. If they are unlucky then the |
224 | | | | error is reported from somewhere misleading very high in the call |
225 | | | | stack. |
226 | | | | |
227 | | | | Therefore it is best to avoid C<$Carp::CarpLevel>. Instead use |
228 | | | | C<@CARP_NOT>, C<%Carp::Internal> and %Carp::CarpInternal>. |
229 | | | | |
230 | | | | Defaults to C<0>. |
231 | | | | |
232 | | | | =head1 BUGS |
233 | | | | |
234 | | | | The Carp routines don't handle exception objects currently. |
235 | | | | If called with a first argument that is a reference, they simply |
236 | | | | call die() or warn(), as appropriate. |
