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. Wait for the OOP Apocalypse/Exegesis. > Are we still gonna be able to pick what we call the current instance? 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.
