I am unaware of any way to do it, and I think it would be good for auto-documentation and code completion within editors. If a sub is called, I'd love to be able to easily inspect the name of the variables passed to it. Padwalker does it with var_name() but only to a certain extent (must be refs, not copies, etc). This is one of the most requested features in Data::Printer. > Does this sound like a useful RFC to write? Shall I proceed? > YES!Thread Previous | Thread Next
