In the case of +cluck, confess, and longmess that context is a summary of every +call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use carp, +croak or shortmess which report the error as being from where +your module was called. There is no guarantee that that is where +the error was, but it is a good educated guess. + +Here is a more complete description of how shortmess works. What +it does is search the call-stack for a function call stack where +it hasn't been told that there shouldn't be an error. If every +call is marked safe, it then gives up and gives a full stack +backtrace instead. In other words it presumes that the first likely +looking potential suspect is guilty. Its rules for telling whether +a call shouldn't generate errors work as follows: + +=over 4 + +=item 1. + +Any call from a package to itself is safe. + +=item 2. + +Packages claim that there won't be errors on calls to or from +packages explicitly marked as safe by inclusion in @CARP_NOT, or +(if that array is empty) @ISA.
