What about something like CGI::Carp? Is this not in the contemporary core?

$ corelist CGI::Carp

Data for 2022-12-20
CGI::Carp was first released with perl 5.004, deprecated (will be CPAN
+-only) in v5.19.7 and removed from v5.21.0
$
[download]

So that's a pretty definitive "no".

Note that none of the other alternatives you have mentioned are in core either, which is fine by me. Just download what you want to use and then use it - don't worry about what is bundled in.

Just download what you want to use and then use it - don't worry about what is bundled in Good advice for scripts but for modules I always try to use core modules or modules that most people have installed if possible unless there is a real necessity to use other things. I do sometimes wonder if some of the modules on CPAN really need all the dependencies they install.	[reply]

Indeed. Having no/few non-core dependencies is the joint 4th reason monks are likely to install a new module from CPAN. It helps to keep the dependency chains short. 🦛	[reply]
