This is a bug report for perl from anno@[...].de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.36 running under perl 5.10.0.

I believe there is a small bug in Exporter.pm that can lead to error  
messages from Exporter being mis-attributed (as in file and line) by  
Carp.  The error is reported as coming from Exporter, not the place  
where the user called Exporter::import.  This happens when Carp is an  
older version than the current one (not sure how old).  Since (the  
new) Exporter can be downloaded from CPAN this situation is not  
uncommon.  It is, however, not the case on the machine I'm reporting  
from.

The patch below, which rectifies the situation, is against Exporter  
in bleadperl. I should perhaps have patched the CPAN version instead,  
which is the one that actually needs a correction, but thought of  
that too late.

Regards,

Anno
