Thanks all replicants:

Firstly, I apologize; I seem to have lied in my original post. I am not using 'warn' but rather 'carp' in the perl module. The 'warn' function honors the '#line <NUM>' comment (and BrowserUk's '#file <NAME>' as well) just fine.

Of course, being a DRY kinda guy, I'd rather not have to keep these directives synced with the *actual* line number and name. I tried putting a:

# line 1

at the top of the page, but apparently, intervening comment lines are not counted, so that the value it winds up using is a bit higher up in the file that it really is. At any rate, I'm using Carp in the module and it does *not* honor these directives.

What I was really fishing for was a way to use load_module(), allowing the interpreter to search for and load the module in the expected way (have cake) and yet benefit from having used perl_parse()(eat cake). I poked around in the interpreter code a little, wondering if there was a clean way to, perhaps, steal the file name that load_module() determined, but was not obvious to me how I might do that. [please do pardon my parenthetical americanisms].

Another long shot I tried was to push the arguments to the function of interest onto the stack and then call eval_pv() with *no* parameters, hoping the function would find it's parms waiting for it on the stack. But this did not produce the desired effect.
