The easiest way would be not to go back: Just search for ipconfig and sub in parallel. If you find a sub, just store the related function-name (as this is the function you are currently in). And if you find an ipconfig, just take that name.
update begin
You could also do a two-pass-reading: in the first pass you would read all functions that are defined in your file, and store their name and the line where they start. In the second pass you would search for your keyword, check the line where it occurs and use this to determine the function name.
update end
You will of course still need to handle the case of your keywords occuring in strings, comments and so on...

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).
