For this, it uses perl's introspection mechanism, provided by the C module. It provides four functions : C returns the name of the subroutine (or C<__ANON__> if it's an anonymous code reference), C returns its package, and C returns the concatenation of the two. The fourth function, C, returns a list of two elements, the package and the subroutine name (in case of you want both and are worried by the speed.) In case of subroutine aliasing, those functions always return the original name. =head1 LICENSE (c) Rafael Garcia-Suarez (rgarciasuarez at gmail dot com) 2005, 2008 This program is free software; you may redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut
