I haven't needed to capture stacktrace information (as opposed to outputting it from confess or, rarely, cluck) for some years but I recall I generated custom stacktrace messages with caller.

Looking at the 5.12.2 source code (http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/JESSE/perl-5.12.2/lib/Carp.pm), croak and confess are implemented via longmess (with carp and cluck via shortmess):

sub croak   { die  shortmess @_ }
sub confess { die  longmess  @_ }
sub carp    { warn shortmess @_ }
sub cluck   { warn longmess  @_ }

There appears to be no change to that in the latest 5.13.7 development source (http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BINGOS/perl-5.13.7/lib/Carp.pm), so no indication of deprecation at this point in time.

Maybe someone with insider information can provide a more definite answer.
