Hi

Motivation

setting up emacs I noticed that I can provide a regex to classify error-messages into "real error", "warning" or "info". But in perl's messages are no hints about the severity, so by default all messages are classified by emacs alike. And I don't wanna make emacs compare one-by-one with every known error-string.

Question

Whats the best way to enrich these error messages with additional infos? E.g adding the "(W)" or an "(F)" like listed in perldiag?

Use diagnostics would be too verbose ... starting a process running splain a little to much overhead I'd like to avoid.

I started experimenting with CGI::Carp but I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it...

Any idea appreciated!

Cheers Rolf
