NAME

Attribute::SubName - Naming anonymous subroutines via attributes

SYNOPSIS

    use Attribute::SubName;

    my $coderef = sub :Name(foo) { ... };

    print foo(...);

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an attribute :Name that you can use on anonymous subroutines to give them a name. This is useful as they will then show up with that name in stack traces (cf. Carp). The naming is done with Sub::Name. Additionally, the attribute also installs the newly named subroutine in the proper glob slot so you can refer to it by name.

TAGS

If you talk about this module in blogs, on del.icio.us or anywhere else, please use the attributesubname tag.
