in thread How can I find the calling object?

The only problem is that in my particular case, I wanted to do this with a Tk::Listbox-derived class I wrote. Since it has to be a Tk module, the DB trick wouldn't work. You're probably right for all other situations, though.

    Why not? The function implemented in DB:: can be written anywhere in the source. Your called function calls it to get the enhanced caller() info. You don't have to put your called function itself into a funny package.
