Re^3: Get first caller and its arguments

In the caller docs, did you read this:

Furthermore, when called from within the DB package, caller returns more detailed information: it sets the list variable @DB::args to be the arguments with which the subroutine was invoked.

Also look (and/or use) Devel::Caller::Perl (which uses the "called within the DB package" technique) or Devel::Caller.

did you read this Yes, but it says i can use it only in the debugger, not in my script. However i can miss smth, because i am not familar with Perl debugger. Also look (and/or use) Devel::Caller::Perl Thanks, this works.	[reply]

...it says i can use it only in the debugger No, that's not what it says. Look at the source for Devel::Caller::Perl, and that might give you an idea of what it really says.	[reply]

It seems I understood "called with the DB package" technique `package DB; use Data::Dumper; sub a { b() } sub b { c() } sub c { my @a = caller(2); print Dumper \@a; print Dumper \@DB::args; } a("test", [1,2,3]);` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
