in reply to finding the method name 2 levels above

Have you tried caller ? It allows you to inspect the whole call stack. I'm not sure what you're trying to do, and usually, it's a bad and dangerous idea to try to solve a problem by inspecting who called you and how. So maybe this is a XY Problem and you should tell us what problem you are actually trying to solve.

    See also perldebguts which tells you about the magic in my @info = do { package DB; caller $some_level } that allows you to access the parameters your parents were called with in the @DB::args array.
