- # _almost_ complete understanding of the package. Corrections and
- # comments are welcome.
-
- # The members of %Internal are packages that are internal to perl.
- # Carp will not report errors from within these packages if it
- # can. The members of %CarpInternal are internal to Perl's warning
- # system. Carp will not report errors from within these packages
- # either, and will not report calls *to* these packages for carp and
- # croak. They replace $CarpLevel, which is deprecated. The
- # $Max(EvalLen|(Arg(Len|Nums)) variables are used to specify how the eval
- # text and function arguments should be formatted when printed.
-
- # Comments added by Jos I. Boumans <kane@dwim.org> 11-Aug-2004
- # I can not get %CarpInternal or %Internal to work as advertised,
- # therefor leaving it out of the below documentation.

- # after 6 years, it's still around and in heavy use ;)
