NAME Safe::Caller - A nicer interface to caller() with code execution restriction SYNOPSIS use Safe::Caller; $safe = Safe::Caller->new; package Foo; foo(); sub foo { bar() } sub bar { print $safe->{sub}->(); if ($safe->called_from_sub('Foo::foo')) { do something } } DESCRIPTION CONSTRUCTOR new $safe = Safe::Caller->new(2); Supplying how many frames to go back while running "caller()" is optional. By default (if no suitable value is supplied) 2 will be assumed. METHODS called_from_pkg Checks whether the current sub was called within the appropriate package. $safe->called_from_pkg('main'); Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure. called_from_file Checks whether the current sub was called by the appropriate file. $safe->called_from_file('foobar.pl'); Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure. called_from_line Checks whether the current sub was called on the appropriate line. $safe->called_from_line(13); Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure. called_from_sub Checks whether the current sub was called by the appropriate subroutine. $safe->called_from_sub('foo'); Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
