NAME

VERSION

SYNOPSIS

12           use Sub::Name;
13
14           subname $name, $subref;
15
16           $subref = subname foo => sub { ... };
17

DESCRIPTION

19       This module has only one function, which is also exported by default:
20
21   subname NAME, CODEREF
22       Assigns a new name to referenced sub.  If package specification is
23       omitted in the name, then the current package is used.  The return
24       value is the sub.
25
26       The name is only used for informative routines (caller, Carp, etc).
27       You won't be able to actually invoke the sub by the given name.  To
28       allow that, you need to do glob-assignment yourself.
29
30       Note that for anonymous closures (subs that reference lexicals declared
31       outside the sub itself) you can name each instance of the closure
32       differently, which can be very useful for debugging.
