The answer to this question is probably beyond trivial but I can't figure it
out. Say we have the following situation:

my %hash = ( 
        abcd => {
                a1 => 1,
                a2 => 2,
                a3 => 3
        }
);


another_nasty_sub (\%{$hash{abcd}});

How can I access the name (abcd) of the passed reference inside of the 
subroutine (not just the data a1 a2 etc but the actual key name)? Currently 
what I am doing is passing 'abcd' as a second value to the subroutine, but 
there 
got to be another way...?
