Subject: Error reports have a lot of useless junk in them
Looking at a sample error report, each line in the error stack has something like: [MSG] [Sat Jan 22 13:37:46 2005] This is built into the stack_as_string function in Error.pm. Do authors really case for a timestamp in each line? I'm not even sure they need to differentiate MSG or ERROR. It's wasteful and takes up an enormous amount of space.

Opinions differ; others have explicitly asked for this feature. It doesn't hurt, and grep can be your friend if you feel very strongly about it.
