You are not calling the sub from a different module. The Carp documentation says right at the top (emphasis mine):
For a shorter message you can use carp() or croak() which report the error as being from where your module was called. shortmess() returns the contents of this error message.
Therefore this carps with the context of the call in main only:
use strict;
use warnings;
package Foo;
use Carp;
sub dbout {
carp "@_";
}
package main;
Foo::dbout (1..3);
Here's the STDERR:
1 2 3 at /tmp/lanxcarp.pl line 14.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
