> the module, in which the login function appears?
Don't know what you mean with "appears" ..
- If you want to know which modules actually use this method (!) , ...
... you could use caller inside the method to report the locations at runtime.
(not sure if applying B::Xref helps with methods)
- If you want to know where the method was defined ...
... you can might be able to use ->can to get the function's reference
and use introspection with B to find the origin. (untested, will update code)
Update
- my $c_ref = $obj->can("method_name") will return the reference of the method
- my ($file, $line) = get_code_location($c_ref) in Sub::Identify allows you to retrieve the original source location
the latter can be done without extra module using some half cryptic B code, but I'm reluctant digging it out.
IIRC an example can be found in the O'Reilly book "Perl Hacks" or google is your friend.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
