Let's say, I have a complex variable (don't pay attention to var's data inconsistency. I only gave an example of a complex var to make a point of my question):
my %complex = ( key_of_hash=>{ opt1=>val1, opt2=>val2 }, key_of_arr=>[ 38,'abc',-1829, ['element0',8979,'something else'] ] );
I pass some portion of the variable as a reference somewhere:
my $complexSubVarRef = $complex{'key_of_arr'}[3];
Is there a perl's built-in way to get a reference of the parent, containing subarray, whose reference is saved in $complexSubVarRef?
Or the only ways to do it is iteratively search an entire complex variable or indexing it and searching the index?
