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

+=head1 GLOBAL VARIABLES
+
+=head2 $Carp::CarpLevel
+
+This variable determines how many call frames are to be skipped when
+reporting where an error occurred on a call to one of C<Carp>'s
+functions. For example:
+
+ $Carp::CarpLevel = 1;
+ sub bar { .... or _error('Wrong input') }
+ sub _error { Carp::carp(@_) }
+
+This would make Carp report the error as coming from C<bar>'s caller,
+rather than from C<_error>'s caller, as it normally would.
+
+Defaults to C<0>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::MaxEvalLen
+
+This variable determines how many characters of a string-eval are to
+be shown in the output. Use a value of C<0> to show all text.
+
+Defaults to C<0>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::MaxArgLen
+
+This variable determines how many characters of each argument to a
+function to print. Use a value of C<0> to show the full length of the
+argument.
+
+Defaults to C<64>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::MaxArgNums
+
+This variable determines how many arguments to each function to show.
+Use a value of C<0> to show all arguments to a function call.
+
+Defaults to C<8>.
+
+=head2 $Carp::Verbose
+
+This variable makes C<Carp> use the C<longmess> function at all times.
+This effectively means that all calls to C<carp> become C<cluck> and
+all calls to C<croak> become C<confess>.
+
+Note, this is analogous to using C<use Carp 'verbose'>.
+
+Defaults to C<0>.
