Thanks Dwalu,
But the what i need is the grep the name of the sub which is calling the
loging sub.
As you have suggested "caller" only gives only the name of current sub
routine that is &debugLogger it self.
And I had to do call the "caller" before calling the "debugLogger" and pass
all the info to it.
What i need is the the name of the sub rotuine which is "calling" the sub
"&debuLogger".
Consider the following subs
----------------
sub someSub{
statement 1;
statement 2;
statement 3;
&debugLogger($message);
&anotherSub;
}
sub anotherSub{
statement 1;
statement 2;
statement 3;
&debugLogger($message);
}
sub debugLogger {
my $message = "@_";
$sub_name = ""; # Get the subroutine name.This is what i need to grep.
open (LOGGER, ">> my.log") || die " unable to ope the log file";
print LOGGER "\n----------------------------------------";
print LOGGER "\nCalled from $sub_name.";
print LOGGER "\n$message";
print LOGGER "\n----------------------------------------";
close LOGGER;
}
So if the sub "someSub" is called
The information I expect in the file is .
------------------------------------------------
called from someSub
Here is the message.
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
called from anotherSub
Here is the message.
------------------------------------------------
