I've been digging around, but I've been unable to find a solution for my specific situation. Of course it occurs to me that I may be approaching this incorrectly from the start...

In a nutshell... 

  package Foo::Bar;
  use base 'Foo';

  sub foosub {
    my $self = shift;
    my $FooObj = Some::Module->new;

    ... elsewhere ...

    barsub( \$FooObj );

    ... more code ...
  }

  sub barsub {
    # now, how do I access $FooObj
    # from here?
    my $FooObj = shift;  # ???
    $FooObj->some_method; 
    # results in: Can't call method "some_method" on 
    # unblessed reference at ...
  }

I'm not sure what to do from here. This will give me an error about $FooObj being an unblessed reference in the barsub routine. If I add bless $FooObj; to the barsub routine, it then errors out with Can't locate object method "some_method".... If I try barsub( $FooObj ) without the \ backslash it doesn't make much difference.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx!
