Carp 1.25 made a change to its formatting, adding a period at the end of the message. This can mess up tests and code that are looking for error messages. Carp::Fix::1_25 makes the message consistent, regardless of what version of Carp you’re using.

Carp::Fix::1_25 exports its own carp functions which change the Carp message to match the 1.25 version. Carp::Fix::1_25 otherwise acts exactly like Carp and it will honor Carp global variables|Carp/GLOBAL VARIABLES such as @CARP_NOT and %Carp::Internal.
