See Carp:

use Carp qw(croak); sub foo { croak; } foo();

Here, carp reports from the perspective of the caller. In this case, it will report both the line in the sub that died, and the line in the calling code that called the sub that died.

If you run the code above as "mytest.pl", unmodified it would output the following:

at ./mytest.pl line 4. main::foo() called at ./mytest.pl line 7

The Carp module also provides "confess" which will offer a more detailed back-trace.

If you just want to log calls you can use Carp's "carp" and "cluck" functions to get similar output to warn, but from the caller's perspective.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
