  Innovative. Thanks for sharing this.
  
  I wish for customizing the name of "$self", but this is a nice start, and a welcome competitor to "self.pm", which I also liked it was a little weird because it was "self", not "$self", and didn't actually allow you to "shift" off $self through the system, just reference it.
  
  Wow, that was a run-on sentence.

    Mark: You just inspired me to write selfvars.pm, now on CPAN. :-)

      Wow, Thanks Audrey. I like it.
      
      I wonder if it used "Sub::Exporter", if the "self" scalar name could be easily customized, like it can for "self.pm". However, I don't see any examples in the Sub::Exporter docs of exporting scalars. (Perhaps only because it is recommended against in most cases).

        No, it doesn't use Sub::Exporter; as of version 0.05, it manages the exporting by itself.

        You can customize the "self" scalar name with an import line:

        use selfvars -self => 'this', -args => 'opts';

        Or only import self as $this but not args:

        use selfvars -self => 'this';

        Or only import self as $self:

        use selfvars -self;

        More suggestions are welcome as well!
