The Mooseish way to get the dynamic class name is $obj->meta->name:
use 5.010;
package Parent;
use Moose;
sub who_am_I { shift->meta->name };
package Child;
use Moose;
extends 'Parent';
package main;
say Child->new->who_am_I;
__END__
Child
$obj->meta returns the metaclass instance for the object's class, and ->name returns the name (surprise, surprise).
(excursion: In Perl 6 it works basically the same, except that there is a shortcut for calling methods on the metaclass: say 1.^name says Int).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
