                Hi All,

                I am trying to print out the name of the sub I am in.

                Reference:


            https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables#index-entry-%26%3FROUTINE
            
<https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables#index-entry-%26%3FROUTINE>

            <https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables#index-entry-%26%3FROUTINE
            
<https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables#index-entry-%26%3FROUTINE>>
                    &?ROUTINE   Which routine am I in?


                <code>
                sub LinuxCheck () { print &?ROUTINE ~ " " ~ "$*DISTRO
            $OS\n"; }
                </code>

                <unit> rhel linux

                &?ROUTINE resolves to "<unit>", which is not the name of
            the sub.
                What am I missing?


                Many thanks,
                -T

        Try &?ROUTINE.name -- that should get you the sub's name.


    Hi Brent,

    Still prints "<unit>".  Rats!

    Thank you for the help!

You must be doing something wrong then:

sub LinuxCheck () { print &?ROUTINE.name ~ " " ~ "$*DISTRO OS\n"; }

sub LinuxCheck () { #`(Sub|140478449412680) ... }

LinuxCheck();

LinuxCheck macosx OS

I am.  I wrote a three lines as a proof and it worked.  Time
to clean my glasses!

Thank you for all the help!
