.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Sub::Identify\*(C'\fR allows you to retrieve the real name of code references.
.PP
It provides six functions, all of them taking a code reference.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`sub_name\*(C'\fR returns the name of the code reference passed as an
argument (or \f(CW\*(C`_\|_ANON_\|_\*(C'\fR if it's an anonymous code reference),
\&\f(CW\*(C`stash_name\*(C'\fR returns its package, and \f(CW\*(C`sub_fullname\*(C'\fR returns the
concatenation of the two.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`get_code_info\*(C'\fR returns a list of two elements, the package and the
subroutine name (in case of you want both and are worried by the speed.)
.PP
In case of subroutine aliasing, those functions always return the
original name.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`get_code_location\*(C'\fR returns a two-element list containing the file
name and the line number where the subroutine has been defined.
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`is_sub_constant\*(C'\fR returns a boolean value indicating whether the
subroutine is a constant or not.
.SS "Pure-Perl version"
.IX Subsection "Pure-Perl version"
By default \f(CW\*(C`Sub::Identify\*(C'\fR tries to load an \s-1XS\s0 implementation of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`get_code_info\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`get_code_location\*(C'\fR and (on perl versions 5.16.0 and later)
\&\f(CW\*(C`is_sub_constant\*(C'\fR functions, for speed; if that fails, or if the environment
variable \f(CW\*(C`PERL_SUB_IDENTIFY_PP\*(C'\fR is defined to a true value, it will fall
back to a pure perl implementation, that uses perl's introspection mechanism,
provided by the \f(CW\*(C`B\*(C'\fR module.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
Sub::Util, part of the module distribution Scalar::List::Utils
since version 1.40. Since this will be a core module starting with perl
5.22.0, it is encouraged to migrate to Sub::Util when possible.
