Hi Monks

I'm writing a module to have log messages written to a file (you may recall (or scroll down to) my other message below).

Now, everything's working fine but it would be somewhat cool if I could find out which package my log functions were called from to get log entries a la carp() or croak().
I know that there's __PACKAGE__ but that only gives me my own package.

Example:

package Logalizer::Output;

use Logalizer::Log4Logalizer;

# a lot of code

sub doSomething {
    Logalizer::Log4Logalizer::logInfo ("This goes straight to the log 
+file.");
}

Now, it would be nice if I could have log messages like: 

[Sun Jul 31 12:03:30 2005] (in Logalizer::Output): This goes straight 
+to the log file.

[download]

or even: 

[Sun Jul 31 12:03:30 2005] (in Logalizer::Output::doSomething()): This
+ goes straight to the log file.

I have a hunch that the Symbol modul might have something to offer but I have no clue how to implement that.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
