Hi there, esteemed frequenters of this wonderful community,

Yep, it's brain dead question of the week time again ...

This time I would like to know if it's possible to determine, at runtime, from within a method (whether it be class or instance) whether, or not...

I have read and considered - chaining method calls & Method chain object with easy syntax - (amongst others) but, AFAICT, they don't answer my question.

I have also considered (but not yet too seriously - since it smells less like mastery and more like hackery) whether there's any mileage in using caller & B::Deparse collectively to determine the call context by parsing the calling sub.

As always, any and all suggestions welcomed ...

TIA ,

Update:

The original problem is now solved thanx to the owner of a used module relaxing their intransigence ... that being said, I would still, for the purposes of progressing further down the path of enlightenment, be interested in finding an answer (if there is one).

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
