Do you mean if we've hidden a lexical of the same name in the same
scope? I seem to recall something related to %MY that would let you
access outer scopes, but I don't remember the details. Perhaps I'm
thinking of the discussion regarding modifying the callers environment.

That's a good question.  With the implicit-self of unary dot, I don't
see how we get at the object directly.  Perhaps it will be something like
this:

        method foo {
           my $me is self;
           $me.blah();          # same as .blah();
        }

I don't know.  Wait for the OOP Apocalypse/Exegesis :-)
