At the risk of losing the respect of many OO programmers ;)
Why not use PadWalker to peek around other classes' lexical scopes. I.e.
use strict;
package TestSuite;
sub new {
my ($this, $motto) = @_;
bless { info => $motto }, $this;
}
sub make_a_blob {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->{blob} = Blob->new;
return $self;
}
sub print_blob {
my ($self) = @_;
$self->{blob}->print_stuff();
}
package Blob;
use PadWalker qw(peek_my);
sub new {
bless {}, shift;
}
sub print_stuff {
my $callerObject = ${peek_my(1)->{'$self'}};
print $callerObject->{info}."\n";
}
package main;
my $ts = new TestSuite("The holy grail!");
my $ts2 = new TestSuite("A rotten apple!");
$ts->make_a_blob();
$ts->print_blob();
$ts2->make_a_blob->print_blob;
__DATA__
The holy grail!
A rotten apple!
Update: Changed code a little but idea is still the same.
