Re: At which line number did the print statement occure?

__LINE__ and friends should be documented in perlvar as well as perldata. perlvar is the logical place to look for this functionality.

They're data, not variables. (Vary as in change.) Plus, they look a lot like __DATA__ and __END__, which are documented in perldata.	[reply]

It's worth noting that the function caller, when used in Windows, returns the line from the first line of actual code. `#! /usr/bin/perl -w foo() ; sub foo{ print join(" ", caller); }` [download] This will print '3' as the line number on my Windows machine. Bro. Doug :wq	[reply] [d/l]
