NAME
====

P5caller - Implement Perl 5's caller() built-in

SYNOPSIS
========

    use P5caller;

    sub foo { bar }
    sub bar { say caller[3] } # foo

DESCRIPTION
===========

This module tries to mimic the behaviour of the `caller` of Perl 5 as closely as possible.

PORTING CAVEATS
===============

In Perl 5, `caller` can return an 11 element list. In the Perl 6 implementation only the first 4 elements are the same as in Perl 5: package, filename, line, subname. The fifth element is actually the `Sub` or `Method` object and as such provides further introspection possibilities not found in Perl 5.
