Actually the title isn't quite accurate. I'm passing coderefs into other packages and they run fine. But any other functions called from the coderefs are called in the 'wrong' (the destination) package, not the package that the coderefs come from. Here's my example:

use webdav;
my %callback = (        get_properties  =>      \&get_properties_callb
+ack,
                        get_content     =>      \&get_content,
                        get_options     =>      \&get_options,
                        put_content     =>      \&put_content,
                        move_member     =>      \&move_member,
                        copy_member     =>      \&copy_member,
                        make_collection =>      \&make_collection,
                        delete_member   =>      \&delete_member,
                );
                webdavlisten(%callback);




package webdav;

#Exports, etc etc

sub webdavlisten {
my %callback =  @_;

...

&{$callback{get_content}}(data...);

The callbacks work, but when any of the callback code calls another fuction, it calls it in the webdav package. Naturally the user is going to want to add a few support routines for his callbacks. The only thing I can think of to do is to use the caller function to see where webdavlisten is being called from, but even that is inelegant because there is no compulsion to call webdavlisten from the same package that the callbacks are defined in.

I'm happy to jettison the coderef callback and go OO if neccessary, but it seemed to me that this provided the most convenient way to pass the functions.
