Hayulp! Sub::WrapPackages and caller()

drhyde on 2003-12-19T12:12:49

It's time I fixed Sub::WrapPackages so that caller() Does The Right Thing. And it's making my brane hurt.

Internally, I use The Damian's Hook::LexWrap, which does voodoo with caller() itself. I need to be careful because I can't just go trampling on his voodoo in case someone using my module is also using a naked Hook::LexWrap elsewhere. Clues welcome please!

This also means that once I *have* got caller() working properly, I should run his test suite as part of mine to make sure I haven't broken him.

Sub::Uplevel

I've not looked at your code or the problem in depth, but when I was writing Sub::Attempts I used Sub::Uplevel to fix my caller. Any use?

Ooops, that'll teach me not to check who I'm logged in as.

Unfortunately not, because one of the bugs documented is "Blows over any CORE::GLOBAL::caller you might have" - and Hook::LexWrap does have.
