Have you talked to the maintainer of Carp about this? It might be best to just suggest it as a new feature in Carp itself. Otherwise, Carp::Whence or something might seem reasonable to me. On Sat, Mar 5, 2011 at 4:11 AM, Paul LeoNerd Evans wrote: > (To copypaste > http://leonerds-code.blogspot.

Hi all, It occurs to me that the uses for this could extend outside testing. Looking at CPAN, the root namespace 'Include' already exists, so Include::DontRun would be a viable name, and seems pretty descriptive to me. Anyone got any objections? I've handled the __DATA__ and __END__ cases now.

Mea Culpa - it wasn't a very clear description. OK, so perhaps you have a script like this: ###myscript.pl### doStuff(); doOtherStuff(); sub doStuff{ # things that need testing } sub doOtherStuff{ # things you don't want to run } __END__ and you don't have the option of wrapping the top leve

I find mid-development changes to the project name drastically disruptive. Perhaps I am, indeed, doing it wrong.
