I've applied those of your Carp patches that don't effect dual-homed modules (as determined by 'CPAN' => 1 in Porting/Maintainers.pl). Since it isn't fixing critial bugs, I'm assuming its up to the authors to decide.
(And I've finally been won round to the idea that it's worthwhile avoiding use Carp in small, common modules). Change #25052 not applied: Subject: [PATCH] Make Time::Local to load Carp only when nec. Subject: [PATCH] Put Carp into the Tarpit (No Carp #2 - Archive::Tar) Subject: [PATCH] no Carp! #3 - Attribute::Handlers applied: Subject: [PATCH] No Carp #4 AutoSplit.pm Subject: [PATCH] no Carp #5 (File::Path) Subject: [PATCH] no Carp #7 - charnames.pm partly appplied: Subject: [PATCH] no Carp #6 (File::Compare, File::Copy, File::Temp) except File::Temp Subject: [PATCH] no Carp #8 - SelfLoader, Text/Balanced and open.pm except Text/Balanced Dave. -- The Enterprise is involved in a bizarre time-warp experience which is in some way unconnected with the Late 20th Century. -- Things That Never Happen in "Star Trek" #14
