Hello,
Just out of curiosity.
Is there a way to get the name of the subroutine Perl is currently in
when it is running?
For example, if I have a subroutine declared with the name sub
helloWorld, is there any way from within that subroutine to
programmatically get 'helloWorld' without having to hardcode it?
yup. caller().
