Re: How do I query the package name of an object?

Use ref or somewhat complicated:

package sample;
sub new { bless {}, shift }
package main;
my $a = sample->new;
use B;
print B::class($a);

I just point another way to do it, for fun. I recommend ref for sure. I can not see anything pedantic there. I think you misread my post. Boris	[reply]

You're probably right - I read your post as saying how you can fool ref to get the wrong answer ... which is possible (I remember a 30+ minute CB conversation detailing ref tricks...), but can break everything else. My apologies.	[reply]
