1Sub::Name 0.04 2 3To install this module type the following: 4 5 perl Makefile.PL 6 make 7 make test 8 make install 9 10 11Module documentation: 12 13NAME 14 Sub::Name - (re)name a sub 15 16SYNOPSIS 17 use Sub::Name; 18 19 subname $name, $subref; 20 21 $subref = subname foo => sub { ... }; 22 23DESCRIPTION 24 This module has only one function, which is also exported by default: 25 26 subname NAME, CODEREF 27 Assigns a new name to referenced sub. If package specification is 28 omitted in the name, then the current package is used. The return value 29 is the sub. 30 31 The name is only used for informative routines (caller, Carp, etc). You 32 won't be able to actually invoke the sub by the given name. To allow 33 that, you need to do glob-assignment yourself. 34 35 Note that for anonymous closures (subs that reference lexicals declared 36 outside the sub itself) you can name each instance of the closure 37 differently, which can be very useful for debugging. 38 39AUTHOR 40 Matthijs van Duin <xmath@cpan.org> 41 42 Copyright (C) 2004, 2008 Matthijs van Duin.
