in reply to Re^2: Changing the name of a function in the call stack
in thread Changing the name of a function in the call stack

This is inferior to Sub::Name for two reasons:

use strict; use warnings; use Carp; sub foo { my $bar = sub { carp "*** inner anon sub called***"; }; $bar->(); } sub generate { my ( $name ) = @_ ; return sub { local *__ANON__ = $name if $name; carp "***sub called***"; foo(); } } sub super { my $not_named = generate(); $not_named->(); my $named = generate('HulaHoop'); $named->(); } super();
Still, it's good to know that it's possible to do it in pure perl.

    well, I was aware of the side effects, but you said in the OP

    > create function wrappers,

    so I supposed you are going to automate the wrappers, hence all anon subs would be treated by your attribute handlers and you could de-localize the name before calling the wrapped sub.

    Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if the mechanics of Sub::Name were possible without XS and just using methods from the B backend module
