(description "The @code{Carp} routines are useful in your own modules
because they act like @code{die()} or @code{warn()}, but with a message
which is more likely to be useful to a user of your module. In the case
of @code{cluck}, @code{confess}, and @code{longmess} that context is a
summary of every call in the call-stack. For a shorter message you can use
@code{carp} or @code{croak} 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.")
