NAME

6       Sub::Identify - Retrieve names of code references
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Sub::Identify ':all';
10           my $subname = sub_name( $some_coderef );
11           my $p = stash_name( $some_coderef );
12           my $fully_qualified_name = sub_fullname( $some_coderef );
13           defined $subname
14               and print "this coderef points to sub $subname in package $p\n";

DESCRIPTION

17       "Sub::Identify" allows you to retrieve the real name of code
18       references. For this, it uses perl's introspection mechanism, provided
19       by the "B" module.
20
21       It provides four functions : "sub_name" returns the name of the
22       subroutine (or "__ANON__" if it's an anonymous code reference),
23       "stash_name" returns its package, and "sub_fullname" returns the
24       concatenation of the two.
25
26       The fourth function, "get_code_info", returns a list of two elements,
27       the package and the subroutine name (in case of you want both and are
28       worried by the speed.)
29
30       In case of subroutine aliasing, those functions always return the
31       original name.
