NAME
Sub::Name - (Re)name a sub
VERSION
version 0.26
SYNOPSIS
use Sub::Name;
subname $name, $subref;
$subref = subname foo => sub { ... };
DESCRIPTION
This module has only one function, which is also exported by default:
subname NAME, CODEREF
Assigns a new name to referenced sub. If package specification is omitted in the name,
then the current package is used. The return value is the sub.
The name is only used for informative routines (caller, Carp, etc). You won't be able to
actually invoke the sub by the given name. To allow that, you need to do glob-assignment
yourself.
Note that for anonymous closures (subs that reference lexicals declared outside the sub
itself) you can name each instance of the closure differently, which can be very useful
for debugging.
SEE ALSO
o Sub::Identify - for getting information about subs
o Sub::Util - set_subname is another implementation of "subname"
