O' great monks, I have a fairly large perl project that I need to put into a form that can be easily navigated. I wrote another perl script that does a shallow parse of my large perl project using regexes and coverts it into webpages where each call to a subroutine has a link to the definition of that subroutine. My problem is that several of the objects that I have defined for this project have member functions with the exact same name. When I run my html generating script I have no way of knowing which type of object is being used. For example: 
sub myfunction{
  my($object1,$object2)=@_;
  print $object1->to_string();
  print $object2->to_string();
}

In these cases I have to manually change links to the correct subroutine definition (my script defaults to whatever subroutine was defined last). Is there anyway to get around having to do this? Is there some module that I could use that could figure out which type of object a subroutine is being called by?
