Since about all pdie and perror do is tack "$!\n" to the die or warning message, I fail to agree.

Ah. Yeah. Good idea and point. :-) Might be worthy doing cluck/carp/croak/confess versions as well as the warn/die variants though.

    Considering that perror and pdie don't print line numbers, carp and croak versions would not add anything. Also, I'd expect terseness when perror or pdie are used - not something I associate with the stack traces of cluck and confess. So, I don't see much added value in adding c-variants. But anyone could subclass it to PError::Carp, ;-).
