This won't work as you're asking perl to remember the object that called a given method from another method. The only real solution to this is to pass it as argument to the given sub
sub Foo::new { bless {bar => pop}, shift }
sub Foo::call_bar {
$_[0]->{bar}->some_method($_[0]);
}
sub Bar::new { bless [@_], shift }
sub Bar::some_method {
print "the object whose method called this method: $_[-1]\n";
}
my $o = Foo->new( Bar->new(qw(a list of args)) );
$o->call_bar();
__output__
the object whose method called this method: Foo=HASH(0x8108174)
I think this is about the simplest method for getting get the *same* object as that which the calling method was called with.

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).
