Is it possible from within a function to get the name of the function I'm
in? e.g.
**************************************
sub function23 { return "I am in function $<somevariable??>\n"; }
print function23();
**************************************
... should return "I am in function function23"
Does that make sense?
I have properties that vary depending on what function I'm in, and I'm
trying to make the code more modular...
$ perl -le'
sub function23 { return "I am in function ", ( caller 0 )[ 3 ], "\n"; }
print function23();
'
I am in function main::function23
perldoc -f caller
