There are at least two reasons that I can think of..
- caller:
sub whoami {
print +(caller 1)[3], $/
}
+
*main::foo = sub { whoami() };
+
foo();
__END__
main::__ANON__
- DProf:
*main::foo = sub { sleep 1; };
+
foo() for 1..5;
__END__
$ perl -d:DProf foo.pl
$ dprofpp tmon.out
Total Elapsed Time = 5.00996 Seconds
User+System Time = 0 Seconds
Exclusive Times
%Time ExclSec CumulS #Calls sec/call Csec/c Name
0.00 - -0.000 5 - - main::__ANON__
When you have a lot of different anonymous subs floating around, it's a pain in the butt to profile, because all calls to anonymous subs land in main::__ANON__ as far as DProf is concerned.
There's a trick involving local *__ANON__, which works for caller but not DProf.

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).
