Carp or Carp::Clan were designed long ago, at a time when Perl had no support yet for object-oriented programming; therefore they only have a functional API that is not very well suited for extensions. The present module attempts to mimic the same behaviour, but with an object-oriented implementation that offers more tuning options, and also supports errors raised as Exception objects. . Unlike Carp or Carp::Clan, where the presentation of stack frames is hard-coded, here it is delegated to Devel::StackTrace. This means that clients can also take advantage of options in Devel::StackTrace to tune the output -- or even replace it by another class.
