Devel::stacktrace + padwalker
use Devel::StackTrace::WithLexicals; my $trace = Devel::StackTrace::WithLexicals->new; ${ $trace->frame(1)->lexical('$self') }->oh_god_why();
Devel::StackTrace is pretty good at generating stack traces.
PadWalker is pretty good at the inspection and modification of your callers' lexical variables.
Devel::StackTrace::WithLexicals is pretty good at generating stack traces with all your callers' lexical variables.
All the same as Devel::StackTrace, except that frames (in class Devel::StackTrace::WithLexicals::Frame) also have a \*(C`lexicals\*(C' method. This returns the same hashref as returned by PadWalker.
If the \*(C`no_refs\*(C' option to Devel::StackTrace is used, then each reference is stringified. This can be useful to avoid leaking memory.
Simple, really.

I had to copy and paste some code from Devel::StackTrace to achieve this (it's hard to subclass). There may be bugs lingering here.
