Re: Can I find out which package a subroutine is from, originally?

I'll confess that I can't test this on my box, but you might be able to use Devel::Symdump. The documentation seems to indicate that doing:

use Devel::Symdump;

my $dump = Devel::Symdump->new('Everything::node::user');

my @functions = $dump->functions();

Unfortunately, I'm just going by docs here, and don't know if this will work, or if it just encapsulates what you're already doing. Good luck.

Update: Tested. Doesn't work... prints out all, just like your above code. Sorry.

this actually gives me the same data that my code snippet posted above gives me. It looks like it's accessing the symbol table in a similar fashon. thanks anyway, --nate	[reply]
