in thread Getting file and line number where a subroutine is declared

The problem with those, I think, is the problem I had above. They won't work if the code is declared after I try to inspect it because GV->LINE apparently reports the first glob entry ... and that's created when I take the reference.

On P5P, Rafael suggested I use START->line instead. It returns the line number of the first expression encountered in the sub. Not perfect, but close enough to what I want (I also encountered GV->LINE returning the line number of the closing curly brace in the sub. Much worse than START.

    You seem to be confusing function declaration and function definition. You are getting is the line number of the declaration. What you want to line number of the definition.
