• What about Carp::Indeed ? (Score:1)

  by ferreira (5993)

  I wrote such a module recently. I've called it Carp::Indeed and it uses import()> with CORE::GLOBAL::die() and CORE::GLOBAL::warn() to make it work. To be really honest, this current implementation does not work all the time. I thought about changing the implementation to use $SIG{__FOO__} stuff (which is probably even shorter than the current one - around ten lines of code), but I didn't made the time for this yet. Acme::JavaTrace inspired me.

    I've just uploaded to CPAN the release 0.03 which does right a couple of things:

    $ perl -MCarp::Indeed -e "sub f { die 'horrible death' }; f('a')"
    horrible death at -e line 1
            main::f('a') called at -e line 1

    $ perl -MCarp::Indeed -e "sub f { use strict; my $a; my @a = @$a }; f('a')"
    Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at -e line 1
            main::f('a') called at -e line 1

    It is not as robust as it should yet, but better. Thanks, Schwern, for reassu

      Carp::Indeed 0.03 is indeed doing almost exactly what I want in almost exactly the way I'd written it. Thank you.
      
      Except the name stinks, why did you choose that name? And the documentation is rather ranty... but that's fixable.

        He he he. Well, from my non-native English speaker viewpoint, I even thought it was a good name. Yes, the documentation can be pruned down to a description up to the point. I will work on this. But wrt the name, I don't have a clue for a good name (as you noticed).

          Carp::StackTrace would be a good name then. One would already have a pretty good idea what the module does, without opening the documentation.

            Not a very good name if you ask me. The important thing isn't that it allows you to make stack traces, Carp already does that. Its that it allows you to make stack traces everywhere! This is why Carp::Everywhere appeals to me.

              Oh right, I forgot that Carp could already do that. Still, I find "Everywhere" has a slightly cutesy ring to it.

              • Carp::Detailed
              • Carp::Maximum, ::Maximally
              • Carp::Verbose

              Besides, the functionality you want is confess, not carp...

              • Confess::Everything
              • Confess::Deathbed

              Some of my best friends are Catholics. I'll go ask them for some ideas :)

                At what point in this conversation did we stop talking about Perl and switch to Java?

                    Confess::Everything

                I kinda like that one. We can add more layers of cultural references...

                  Alas, Monty::Python::Inquisition::Spanish is where Guido the Parselmouth [wikipedia.org] got his inspiration for thumbscrew indentation, so we loyal camelistas can't even quote the Camel Spotting sketch [ibras.dk] for fear of endorsing The Other Language [wikipedia.org].

                  Oh dear, I've gone and quoted it ... I'll have to go outside and turn three times.
