Re: Grabbing Variable Names

You could probably work something up from perl's symbol tables. The root is at %$main::. Lookat perldoc perlmod or Programming Perl page 293 under 'Symbol Tables'.

For a quick dump of the symbol table, try this.

perl -MData::Dumper -e "print Dumper(\%main::)"

---
print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?' ':'';
$m.=substr('AHJPacehklnorstu',hex($_),1) }
split //,'2fde0abe76c36c914586c';

That's not going to help with lexicals though. You might have more luck with one of the B::* modules. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
