in reply to How to display name of current package

just for seek of completness (and because they are sparsed in index-functions with misregard of the underscore..), you can find all special literals in the dedicated section in perldata.

They are all special tokens Pay attention to __SUB__ that is available only on request. They are:__FILE__  __LINE__ __PACKAGE__ __SUB__ __END__ __DATA__

    Worth noting, I think, that __SUB__ is availabe >= v5.16. While it is ludicrous, quite a few of us are stuck on v5.10 or even v5.8. :\
