2 Sub::Name - (re)name a sub
7 subname $name, $subref;
9 $subref = subname foo => sub { ... };
12 This module has only one function, which is also exported by default:
15 Assigns a new name to referenced sub. If package specification is
16 omitted in the name, then the current package is used. The return value
19 The name is only used for informative routines (caller, Carp, etc). You
20 won't be able to actually invoke the sub by the given name. To allow
21 that, you need to do glob-assignment yourself.
23 Note that for anonymous closures (subs that reference lexicals declared
24 outside the sub itself) you can name each instance of the closure
25 differently, which can be very useful for debugging.
