You might have 1.26 installed somewhere, but I believe Perl is finding and using an older version. The `longmess_real` and `shortmess_real` subs were purged a few years ago, in the 1.1x series IIRC. Basically the way they were defined/used was that the `(long\|short)mess_real` functions were defined inside Carp/Heavy.pm, and were called from Carp.pm itself. In recent versions Carp/Heavy.pm is not much more than an empty file, and Carp.pm doesn't call `(long\|short)mess_real` at all. So what I'm assuming is that Perl is finding an old version of Carp.pm (which calls `longmess_real`) but a new version of Carp/Heavy.pm (which does not define `longmess_real`). `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yep, you are right. I change my BEGIN block to use unshift to make my custom libs load first. `BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5" }` [download] Neil Watson watson-wilson.ca	[reply] [d/l]
