=head1 NAME

Safe::Caller - A nicer interface to the built-in caller()

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 package abc;

 use Safe::Caller;

 $caller = Safe::Caller->new;

 a();

 sub a { b() }

 sub b {
     print $caller->{subroutine}->();
     if ($caller->called_from_subroutine('abc::a')) { # do stuff }
 }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 new

 $caller = Safe::Caller->new(1);

Supplying how many frames to go back while running L<perlfunc/caller> is optional.
By default (if no suitable value is supplied) 1 will be assumed. The default
will be shared among all method calls (accessors & verification routines);
the accessors may optionally accept a frame as parameter, whereas verification
routines (C<called_from_*()>) don't.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Accessors

 $caller->{package}->();
 $caller->{filename}->();
 $caller->{line}->();
 $caller->{subroutine}->();
 $caller->{hasargs}->();
 $caller->{wantarray}->();
 $caller->{evaltext}->();
 $caller->{is_require}->();
 $caller->{hints}->();
 $caller->{bitmask}->();

See L<perlfunc/caller> for the values they are supposed to return.

=head2 called_from_package

Checks whether the current sub was called within the appropriate package.

 $caller->called_from_package('main');

Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

=head2 called_from_filename

Checks whether the current sub was called within the appropriate filename.

 $caller->called_from_filename('foobar.pl');

Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

=head2 called_from_line

Checks whether the current sub was called on the appropriate line.

 $caller->called_from_line(13);

Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.

=head2 called_from_subroutine

Checks whether the current sub was called by the appropriate subroutine.

 $caller->called_from_subroutine('foo');

Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
