in thread Get the name of the calling script in a module function

Thanks for your kindness. I did search first, it was just a matter of not knowing what to search for.

Do you know of a cheatsheet of all the those cryptic variables?

`perldoc perl` will show you a table of contents for all of perldoc. (See here: perl) perlvar has the variable names for example. perlfunc has all the functions. You can view a specific function if you already know its name by `perldoc -f functionname`. etc. etc. perldoc itself is a bit cryptic at first, but it's not too hard to figure out.

Do you know of a cheatsheet of all the those cryptic variables? Yep, perlvar. If you have perl installed on your machine, you should be able to just type `perldoc perlvar` at a command line prompt. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply] [d/l]
