mod_perl filters have four names:

  modperl_request_output
  modperl_request_input
  modperl_connection_output
  modperl_connection_input

You can see the names of the non-mod_perl filters as well. By calling
C<L<$filter-E<gt>next-E<gt>frec-E<gt>name|docs::2.0::api::Apache2::Filter/C_next_>>
you can get the name of the next filter in the chain.

Example:

Let's print the name of the current and the filter that follows it:

  use Apache2::Filter ();
  use Apache2::FilterRec ();
  for my $frec ($filter->frec, $filter->next->frec) {
      print "Name: ", $frec->name;
  }
