5 Carp::Heavy - Carp guts

23 # longmess() crawls all the way up the stack reporting on all the function
24 # calls made. The error string, $error, is originally constructed from the
25 # arguments passed into longmess() via confess(), cluck() or shortmess().
26 # This gets appended with the stack trace messages which are generated for
27 # each function call on the stack.

48 # iterations to append $sub to $mess before appending the "$error
