Joost,
*Chuckle* - I will share a snippet of the CB conversation I had along those lines:

• Corion Seems like calin wants something like caller(-1) ... I wonder more about caller(-2) though - now that would be a feature of Perl to make other languages envious :-)
• Limbic~Region was just reading that Corion
• Corion Hmm - no, caller(0) does almost everything calin wants, except that it only returns a name not a reference ... But why should caller be restricted to non-negative numbers ? :-))))
• Limbic~Region *shrug* - I am betting someone comes up with a B:: solution or something though the question looked to be asking for something generic
• Limbic~Region does Devel::Caller fill in the missing code ref?
• Corion Limbic~Region++ indeed!
• Zaxo suspects diotalevi will come up with something clever and wicked

Cheers - L~R
