If you need to extract the exact source code, it may be quite difficult. If it is sufficient to get a functional equivalent, look into B::Deparse; from the docs: use B::Deparse;
$deparse = B::Deparse->new("-p", "-sC");
$body = $deparse->coderef2text(\&func);
and here's a specific example as a one-liner: zen% perl -MB::Deparse -MCarp -wle 'print B::Deparse->new("-p","-sC"
+)->coderef2text(\&Carp::confess)'
{
package Carp;
die(longmess(@_));
}
zen%
See the rest of the docs for full details of the options available.

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).
