My question is this: Is there a way that an anonymous sub stored as a hash value can have access to its associated key?
Unlike what several others have said, you can. In the code below, the anonymous sub gets the key belonging to the value passed in as its first argument.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
package Cute;
sub TIEHASH {bless {}, shift}
sub STORE {my ($self, $key, $sub) = @_;
$$self{$key} = sub {$sub->($key)}}
sub FETCH {${$_[0]}{$_[1]}}
package main;
tie my %hash, 'Cute';
my $greeting = sub {print "Hello, $_[0]\n"};
$hash{world} = $greeting;
$hash{earth} = $greeting;
foreach my $key (qw /world earth/) {
&{$hash{$key}};
}
__END__
Hello, world
Hello, earth

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
