Module documentation:

NAME

    Sub::Name - (re)name a sub

SYNOPSIS

        use Sub::Name;

        subname $name, $subref;

        $subref = subname foo => sub { ... };

DESCRIPTION

    This module has only one function, which is also exported by default:

  subname NAME, CODEREF

    Assigns a new name to referenced sub. If package specification is

    omitted in the name, then the current package is used. The return value

    is the sub.

    The name is only used for informative routines (caller, Carp, etc). You

    won't be able to actually invoke the sub by the given name. To allow

    that, you need to do glob-assignment yourself.

    Note that for anonymous closures (subs that reference lexicals declared

    outside the sub itself) you can name each instance of the closure

    differently, which can be very useful for debugging.
