Text::T...:Caller(3)

💖 Text::T...:Caller — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so this is Text::T...:Caller(3), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and honestly? she's a little niche but she's so useful. sit down, grab a snack, let's get into it 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

Text::Template::Simple::Caller — a caller stack tracer, periodt 👑

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.91 — yes, she's been around a minute and she's still iconic 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

look at her go:

use strict;
use Text::Template::Simple::Caller;
x();
sub x {  y() }
sub y {  z() }
sub z { print Text::Template::Simple::Caller->stack }

like, x calls y, y calls z, and z is just vibing, printing out the whole stack. the way that works?? obsessed 😭✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so this is the caller stack tracer for Text::Template::Simple. real talk: you do not use this module directly inside templates. nope. you have to use the global template function instead. for how to use it from inside templates, go look at Text::Template::Simple::Dummy — that's the one with the deets 🫶

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

Text::Template::Simple::Caller — Caller stack tracer. yes, it says NAME again. the manpage is doing a little encore, we respect it 🌈

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💫 stack

Class method, bestie. It takes its parameters as a single hash reference:

my $dump = Text::Template::Simple::Caller->stack(\%opts);

🌟 frame

Integer. this one decides how many call frames to go back. default is zero, which means the full list — she's giving everything, no holding back 💅

🌟 type

this defines the dump type. the available options are:

• string — a simple text dump. lowkey, no notes, just text 💖
• html_comment — same as string, but the output gets wrapped in HTML comment codes, like:

<!-- [DUMP] -->

• html_table — returns the dump as an HTML table. very structured of her ✨
• text_table — uses the optional module "Text::Table" to format the dump. optional, so make sure you actually have it, iykyk 🌸
