What is the proper way to get the caller to our object creation (the object's client code) inside Mo/Moo/Moose's BUILD or BUILDARGS? I'm okay with getting a subclass.
From a quick glance of the Moo and Moose codebase, it doesn't seem like Moo/Moose provides a utility routine for this. A quick search on CPAN also doesn't yield anything yet.
Example:
package Class1;
use Moo;
has attr1 => (is => 'rw');
sub BUILD {
no strict 'refs';
my $self = shift;
# XXX set default for attr1 depending on the caller
unless (defined $self->attr1) {
$self->attr1(${"$object_caller_package\::FOO"});
}
}
package C2;
use Moo;
extends 'C1';
package main;
our $FOO = 42;
say C2->new->attr1; # prints 42
In principle it should be easy enough to loop over the caller stack and use the first non-Moo* stuff.

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).
