Re: How to identify calling class whilst in inherited method

[Marcello]

More interestingly,

I have a similar problem, but I want to know which class AND which method called the method in a baseclass. Does anybody know how to use caller() to get this data? I remember running into problems when using an eval() in the calling method.

Thanks.

Marcel

Update: Think I've found it:

sub GetCaller {
    my $self = shift;

    my $i = 0;
    my $result;
    while (1) {
        my ($package, $filename, $line, $subroutine) = caller($i++);
        if (defined($package) && ($package ne "main")) {
            $result = $subroutine;
        }
        else {
            last;
        }
    };
    return $result;
}

I ignore "main" because this is always a startup script.
