NAME

Attribute::SubName - Naming anonymous subroutines via attributes

VERSION

version 1.101420

SYNOPSIS

use Attribute::SubName;
my $coderef = sub :Name(foo) { print "got: $_\n"; };
print foo("hi");

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.
