If I read you correctly (and it is still early in the morning here), you want caller:
caller EXPR
caller Returns the context of the current subroutine call. In sca
+lar
context, returns the caller's package name if there is a c
+aller,
that is, if we're in a subroutine or "eval" or "require",
+and
the undefined value otherwise. [....]
So, unless (defined caller) { ... } will execute that code if it's being brought in as the main level of the program, rather than a module.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
