Well, the caller is the C call that's, um, calling the perl code. As far as expectations go, I suppose initially that I naively expected Carp to report that, but of course that's not going to happen as it is.

Expectations aside, I would like to affect the same thing that Carp would normally do. The module is being used both from C and from Perl, so the solution must be general. Maybe I could subclass Carp so that it will report differently in the case of no call-stack (*now* maybe I'm answering my own question :^).

The whole thing with passing perl_parse() "/dev/null" feels less than clean as well. How is this normally handled?

Whatever I do, I was hoping to follow convention -- if there is any -- and that's why I'm laying this out here. What *do* folks do when they load_module() code that contains Carp?
