I've done something similar before, but going through all of the packages, not must main as well.
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; no strict "refs"; my %refs; foreach my $ref (keys %{main::}) { if ($ref =~ /::$/) { next if ($ref =~ /^main::/); recurse($ref); } else { if (defined \&{$main::{$ref}}) { my $sub = \&{$main::{$ref}}; $refs{$sub} = "main::$ref"; } } } sub recurse { my ($ref) = @_; foreach my $subref (keys %{$ref}) { next if ($subref eq $ref); if ($subref =~ /::$/) { recurse("$ref$subref"); } else { if (defined \&{"$ref$subref"}) { $refs{\&{"$ref$subref"}} = "$ref$subref"; } } } } my $ref = \&Foo::bar; if ($refs{$ref}) { print "ref = $refs{$ref}\n" } else { print "ACK!, can't find $ref\n"; } package Foo; sub bar { print "Here I am\n"; }
