The core module Carp::Heavy has stub documentation pointing out that it
is for internal use only:

  http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.3/lib/Carp/Heavy.pm

Unfortunately the docs as shipped with Perl 5.8.3 have "Carp heavy
machinery" rather than "Carp::Heavy" in the NAME part.  This makes
things that parse the NAME interpret the docs as being for Carp.

For example search.cpan.org displays the Carp::Heavy stub docs instead
of the real Carp docs:

  http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Carp

This problem doesn't exist in Perl 5.6.2:

  http://search.cpan.org/src/RGARCIA/perl-5.6.2/lib/Carp/Heavy.pm

Could we possibly go back to that version of the stub docs?
