I"m cleaning up some code in a shared library that i'm using for 3 projects. I have this situation: 
  package MyFramework::DB;

  package MyWebapp::DB;
  our @ISA= ( MyWebapp , MyFramework::DB );

  package MyOtherWebapp::DB;
  our @ISA= ( MyOtherWebapp , MyFramework::DB );

Here is my problem- there are some logging functions in MyFramework::DB that should log to the logging facility described in MyWebapp::Debug / MyOtherWebapp::Debug. MyFramework knows nothing about the webapps using it.

I need to do some magic and find the correct place to debug for the webapp, within the framework.

An ideal solution would be info in a $ctx object, but I'm on a deadline

I'm leaning towards somethng like 
  my @_isa_parts=split '::' ref($self );
  my $LoggerClass= $_isa_parts . "::Debug";

its quick, dirty, and works .

My question is this though-- is there a better way or another option to do a quick hack like this? thats the only way i could figure building the name off of the object. i'm sure there must be alternatatives.
