Why limit it to Date ? It should be more general but I cannot think

I was expecting something like
sub carp {
my $pkg = caller;
$pkg =~ s/::.*//;
my $level = $Carp::CarpLevel;
local $Carp::CarpLevel = 1;
1 while caller($Carp::CarpLevel++) =~ /^$pkg(::|$)/;
$Carp::CarpLevel += $level;
Carp::carp @_;
}
And likewise for the other subs in Carp too.
