in thread Is there a way to access the name under which a subroutine was first defined?

seem to rely on one or more B:: modules.

What issue do you have with B? B is an interface to the guts, something you will have to access in this case. Whether B is used or not, the same code will get executed one way or another to get the info you want.

    No issue with B:: - just had never looked at the core list carefully enough to notice that the many of them were part of it. I'm forever learning new things about Perl.

    But would B:: help where Devel::Peek did not (in the MODIFY_CODE_ATTRIBUTES sub)? What core B:: modules would you suggest I study?

      I don't know the answer to the underlying question, so I can't answer these questions.
