in reply to Variable Name Mistery. Who calls?
Objects encapsulate data. This can include their name/id.
package Foo; sub new { my ($class, $id) = @_; my $self = { id => $id }; return bless $self, $class; } sub method { my ($self) = @_; ... if (...something went wrong...) { warn("$self->{id} rotted into a pile of mush\n"); } ... }
use Foo; my $one = Foo->new('one'); my $second = Foo->new('two');
( If what you want to do is possible, it'll be hard, fragile and error prone. That's why I suggested this alternative. )
