-----------------------------------------------------------------
Currently many warnings from the Perl core are not printed using
Carp​::carp, and therefore

  perl -MCarp=verbose ...

is ineffective to help debug them.

Can warnings be made to show a traceback when $Carp​::Verbose is true,
either by actually calling Carp​::croak or simulating it?

For example, the following script shows a warning in sub &inner but
not where it was called from, despite setting Carp​::Verbose=1.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Carp; BEGIN{ $Carp​::Verbose = 1; }
#use warnings; # FATAL => 'numeric';

sub inner($) { $_[0] < 42 };
sub middle($) { inner(shift) }
sub outer($) { middle(shift) }
outer "badnum";

Actually, warnings​::warn() might be the right thing to call, dunno.

Currently many warnings from the Perl core are not printed using
Carp​::carp, and therefore

perl \-MCarp=verbose \.\.\.

is ineffective to help debug them.

Can warnings be made to show a traceback when $Carp​::Verbose is true,
either by actually calling Carp​::croak or simulating it?

I would welcome a better in-core solution for stack traces, but there are
some CPAN modules that do this. Devel​::Confess and Carp​::Always use the
$SIG{__DIE__} hook to promote all errors into Carp​::confess calls.

I was going to suggest Carp​::Always myself. It already solved this exact problem. Whether it should go in core I couldn‘t say. I have no horse in that race.

It would be nice if Perl shipped with some working mechanism for getting
tracebacks from core warnings.

Carp​::Always fails to install due to some test failures (I just did
"cpan -i Carp​::Always" using perl v5.26.1 and Carp 1.42)

ixne that.    This was a problem with my setup, not a real test failure.
