I understand that. But knowing far, far more about how the B modules
are implemented than you do gives me a reasonable head start.

OK, I'll deny that; B modules are typically executed during the CHECK
phase, when none of the code has been executed. At that time there is
no current state. OK?

It was clear before.

No, it's an absolutely trivial problem. B::Deparse::coderef2text appears not
to currently check the SVs defined in CvOUTSIDE as well as the current CV. If
it checked those SVs, you'd get what you wanted. It's probably only a three or
four line fix. Patches are very welcome. I can even supply you with a free
Perl 5 internals tutorial in case you're not up to speed on the issues
involved.
