NAME

Sub::Identify - Retrieve names of code references

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

"Sub::Identify" allows you to retrieve the real name of code references. For this, it uses perl's introspection mechanism, provided by the "B" module.

It provides three functions : "sub_name" returns the name of the subroutine (or "__ANON__" if it's an anonymous code reference), "stash_name" returns its package, and "sub_fullname" returns the concatenation of the two.

In case of subroutine aliasing, those functions always return the original name.
