Dear monks, Lets say I have a subref at my disposal, and the code in that subref includes a bunch of variables, that have been defined in the same block as the subref. Is it possible for me to access these variables somehow? I have the following code to illustrate my question correctly: A foo.pl file 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Foo;
my $i = 1;
my $bar = 'foo';
my $foo = Foo->new;
print "|", $foo->convert(sub {$i; return $bar}), "|\n";

And a Foo.pm module 
#!/bin/false
package Foo;
use Devel::Peek;

sub new { return bless {}, shift};
sub convert {
    shift;
    use B::Deparse;
    my $c = shift;
    my $b = B::Deparse->new("-d");
    my @p = split /\n/, $b->coderef2text($c);
    print "FOOBAR: " . Dump($c) . " :BARFOO\n";
    return $p[2] . '::' . eval $p[2];
}

1;

In this example, I want to get the value of the variables, that are used in the subref which is passed to the method of Foo (in this case, $i and $bar). Since the module is in a different file, I can't access the the variable ($i) content using eval. However, if I actually run the subref, it will return the correct value, so I think that in the subref's scope, these variables can be accessed. Is it possible for me to access these variables, maybe using some sort of B magic?
