in reply to How to lose Carp levels with @CARP_NOT?

That quote is from the doc explaining how croak, carp, and shortmess work, and doesn't apply to confess, cluck, and longmess.

I think the distinction is that the former are considered useful for user messages (including programmer using a module) and the latter are not.

    Argh, you're right. Well, that explains why it didn't work.

    Any suggestions, other than calling longmess and removing the appropriate lines manually?

      A quick check shows that longmess protects against newlines in the parameters, so manually filtering should work fairly easily (completely untested): 
      $longmess =~ s/\n\tLog::Dispatch::(Perl::|::Output::)?[^:]+\(.*//g;
