+=head1 NAME
+
+carp - warn of errors (from perspective of caller)
+
+cluck - warn of errors with stack backtrace
+ (not exported by default)
+
+croak - die of errors (from perspective of caller)
+
+confess - die of errors with stack backtrace
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Carp;
+ croak "We're outta here!";
+
+ use Carp qw(cluck);
+ cluck "This is how we got here!";
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The Carp routines are useful in your own modules because
+they act like die() or warn(), but report where the error
+was in the code they were called from. Thus if you have a
+routine Foo() that has a carp() in it, then the carp()
+will report the error as occurring where Foo() was called,
+not where carp() was called.
+
+=head2 Forcing a Stack Trace
+
+As a debugging aid, you can force Carp to treat a croak as a confess
+and a carp as a cluck across I<all> modules. In other words, force a
+detailed stack trace to be given. This can be very helpful when trying
+to understand why, or from where, a warning or error is being generated.
+
+This feature is enabled by 'importing' the non-existant symbol
+'verbose'. You would typically enable it by saying
+
+ perl -MCarp=verbose script.pl
+
+or by including the string C<MCarp=verbose> in the L<PERL5OPT>
+environment variable.
