I am using XML::Twig to convert XML from one form to another. I want to be able to use XML::Twig as part of a larger package where the subs reference one another via $self->subroutinename syntax as self contains allsorts of necessary config data. I have no issue using XML::Twig except for one thing.
The doc states setting up a callback to a twig handler is defined as :- 
my $twig= new XML::Twig( 
                TwigHandlers =>                  # player will be call
+ed
                  { player => \&player }         # when each player el
+ement
                       );                        # has been parsed

I want to be able to set up a callback as :- 
my $t= XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => 
                           { 'JOB_SECTIONS/SWITCH' => $self->_upload_j
+ob()},
                           pretty_print => 'indented'
                       )->parsefile($InFileName);

However when I do this it breaks the twig handler as the twig and element are not passed into the sub. The sub is fired though. I could but would prefer not to have to code around this. Any ideas? How can I reference self if it isn't passed into the sub?
