where from function is called(line,name) 2

[sneg86]

I make a simple module but fucnions in it should know where from they are called - file name and line in the file. Is it possible?? and how?? thanks in advance..

 

[rosenk]

[tt]my ($package, $filename, $line) = caller;[/tt]

After that statement [tt]$filename[/tt] and [tt]$line[/tt] will have what you're looking for.

That's one of those things I needed once but never found. Thanks rosenk. Always learning.
