Hey, monks. In my code, I have one object calling a sub in another. I'd like the called sub to be able to find (without being told directly) a reference to the object that called it.
I've thought of a few ways to do it, but none of them are the Right Way. To filter out stuff I've thought of already (or that don't fit what I'm looking for), here are some constraints:
- The result must be a reference to the object which called the sub.
- The reference to the calling object must be obtained on the fly (no saving it anyplace first to be retrieved later).
- No changes may be made to the calling object (say, to have it pass $self to the receiving object).
Any takers?

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).
