Subject: Feature Request: $pmat->find_symbol() for 'my' variables

Right now, find_symbol() will not return 'my' variables from packages. It would be wonderful if there was a method that *did* do this. Thanks, -- Matthew Horsfall (alh)

In summary; that's not doable: lexical variables exist per scope (i.e. per PAD), not globally. You could iterate *all* of the PADs and find all of the lexicals of some given name, but common names like '$self' are likely to find hundreds if not thousands of hits. It's unclear from the request what's required here, but for example if you already know what function to be looking in, then you can just inspect PADs of the CODE directly by using the ->lexvars method. -- Paul Evans

A partial attempt at this has been added. CODE and PAD objects now have a $idx = $sv->padix_from_padname( $name ) method which looks up the pad index for a given lexical name. You can then inspect a pad at that index to find the value of that lexical at that depth. Will this suffice for your purpose? -- Paul Evans

Yes, I think that will do. Thanks a ton! -- Matthew Horsfall (alh)
