NAME
Sub::Info - Tool for inspecting subroutines.
DESCRIPTION
Tool to inspect subroutines.
EXPORTS
All exports are optional, you must specify subs to import.
my $hr = sub_info(\&code)
my $hr = sub_info(\&code, @line_numbers)
This returns a hashref with information about the sub:
{
ref => \&code,
cobj => $cobj,
name => "Some::Mod::code",
file => "Some/Mod.pm",
package => "Some::Mod",
# Note: These have been adjusted based on guesswork.
start_line => 22,
end_line => 42,
lines => [22, 42],
# Not a bug, these lines are different!
all_lines => [23, 25, ..., 39, 41],
};
$info->{ref} => \&code
This is the original sub passed to sub_info().
$info->{cobj} => $cobj
This is the c-object representation of the coderef.
$info->{name} => "Some::Mod::code"
This is the name of the coderef. For anonymous coderefs this may
end with '__ANON__'. Also note that the package 'main' is special,
and 'main::' may be omitted.
$info->{file} => "Some/Mod.pm"
The file in which the sub was defined.
$info->{package} => "Some::Mod"
The package in which the sub was defined.
$info->{start_line} => 22
$info->{end_line} => 42
$info->{lines} => [22, 42]
These three fields are the adjusted start line, end line, and array
with both. It is important to note that these lines have been
adjusted and may not be accurate.
The lines are obtained by walking the ops. As such, the first line
is the line of the first statement, and the last line is the line
of the last statement. This means that in multi-line subs the lines
are usually off by 1. The lines in these keys will be adjusted for
you if it detects a multi-line sub.
$info->{all_lines} => [23, 25, ..., 39, 41]
This is an array with the lines of every statement in the sub.
Unlike the other line fields, these have not been adjusted for you.
