Hi

according to Carp should carp()

# warn user (from perspective of caller) but without stacktrace

But no matter what I try, I'm getting a stacktrace and can't switch it off.

Any idea what's going wrong?

use strict;
use warnings;

use Carp;
BEGIN {$Carp::Verbose=0};

$\="\n";
use constant DBG => 1;
sub dbout {
    $Carp::Verbose=0;
    carp "@_" if DBG;
}

dbout 1..3;
__END__;

update

FWIW, my workaround. I never liked Carp anyway.

sub dbout {
    my ( undef,   $filename, $line ) = caller(0);
    warn "@_ at $filename line $line\n" if DBG;
}
