here yet another approach to automatically introspect your source by using debugger flags - see $PERLDB:

(Crossposted at Reddit while PM was down) 

BEGIN { $^P |= 0x400;};
use v5.12; 
use warnings;
use Data::Dump;

say "some code";

*DB::dbline = $::{ "_<" . __FILE__ };
ddx @DB::dbline;

OUTPUT: 
perl /home/lanx/perl/pm/source_introspection.pl 
some code
# source_introspection.pl:9: (
#   undef,
#   undef,
#   "use v5.12; \n",
#   "use warnings;\n",
#   "use Data::Dump;\n",
#   "\n",
#   "say \"some code\";\n",
#   "\n",
#   "*DB::dbline = \$::{ \"_<\" . __FILE__ };\n",
#   "ddx \@DB::dbline;\n",
# )

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
