From user42@zip.com.au

This is a bug report for perl from user42@​zip.com.au,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

Carp.pod under %Carp​::Internal gives an example

  $Carp​::Internal{ __PACKAGE__ }++;

but I think that results in a literal string "__PACKAGE__" being the
hash key. Maybe it could show something like

  $Carp​::Internal{(__PACKAGE__)}++;

to keep anyone cutting and pasting out of trouble.

Thanks, I've fixed the docs accordingly.
