in reply to possible to determine the name of a sub from a sub reference?

Maybe CvGV from Devel::Peek?

DB<5> x "" . Devel::Peek::CvGV( \&foo ) 0 '*main::foo'

Also, it's not necessary to resort to eval to generate a coderef from a sub name. Presuming you're trying to get around strict, just temporarily disable it for a small block.

my $coderef = do { no strict 'refs'; \&{ $subname } };
