llancet has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi everyone! My problem is same as the title, like this: 
my $ref = \&foo::bar::func;

my $str = some_magic($ref); # got "foo::bar::func"

[download]
As ref() gives 'CODE', and "$ref" gives 'CODExxxxx', how to achieve such magic?

    In 99.9% of all cases, you don't need this information. This is what the various discussions linked above clearly show. What is your real problem?

      I have to store subref in a thread::shared data structure. It seems not allowed. So I decide to save function's name instead. It seems works well.

        What makes you think that? Got an electric shock as soon as you typed the code and another one when you ran it?

        Come on, you are not new here. Show us the relevant parts of your code and any error messages you get from running it! Random guessing won't help you.
