perlquestion michi Hello, i am looking for a way to get the "name" of a reference. I hope this example explains what i mean: <code> sub my_sub { print "hello\n"; } my $var = 5; my $subname = some_nice_function(\&my_sub); # should return 'main::my_sub' my $varname = some_nice_function(\$var); # should return '$var' or 'var' </code> I looking for a function (or any other way) that returns the string 'main::my_sub' if i pass a reference to my_sub. Is there any way to realize this?
