This code looks fine to me (except for some \t|4-space-indent mixup, which is
relatively minor). I cannot reproduce the reported problem here
( perl-5.20.1-8.mga5 on Mageia Linux x86-64 5 - I'm getting something similar
to what you are getting).
Can you please ask your friend for:
1. Operating system + version.
2. The perl 5 distribution and its version.
3. Version of Carp.pm and the surrounding lines.
4. Other parameters of their environment.
Maybe this way we'll be able to reproduce it.
