Consider Log::Log4Perl then.  I don't think this is going to be 
easy.  You'll hav to add a line to every method you want to trace.

I don't understand.  The tracing will be in the code, so it will trace 
from whatever thread it is in.  You can't write something that will 
poke at another process or thread to see what it's doing.
