perl question

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

does anyone know how to get the CLASSNAME of a perl object?

lets say i have a
$obj = SOMECLASS->new();
at which point the object is of class type "SOMECLASS"
if at a later point i wanted to get the classname of the $obj,
is there anyway to do it?

either through a method like $obj->get_classname?
or through accessing a variable like $obj->CLASSNAME?
anyone able to help me?

TIA,
Tomoki
