I had initially attempted to use L, but using L was just a lot cleaner and seem practical for something you on turn on for debugging code. The first iteration was only 2 lines of actual code. package Devel::XRay; use strict; use warnings; use Filter::Simple; my $code = 'print STDERR (caller(0))[3] . "\n";'; FILTER { return unless $_; $_ =~ s/(sub.+?{)/$1 $code/sg; } I'd also like to thank fellow SouthFlorida.pm Rocco Caputo for working out the import logic over Sub Etha Edit at OSCON. Rock on Rocco! =head1 AUTHOR Jeff Bisbee, C<< >> =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
