NAME

Sub::Current - Get the current subroutine

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
   use Sub::Current;
   sub f {
# ...
if ($some_condition) {
    # let's recurse!
    ROUTINE->();
}
# ...
   }
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Sub::Current makes available a function ROUTINE(), that returns a code reference pointing at the currently executing subroutine.

In a special block (BEGIN, END, CHECK, INIT, and UNITCHECK in Perl 5.10) this function will return undef.

Outside of a special block (that is, at the top level of a program) ROUTINE() will return undef as well.

Note: on perl 5.16.0 and later you can use the built-in __SUB__ instead, enabled by the pragma use feature 'current_sub'.
