a couple of quick ideas which may be off target.
try
local *__ANON__ = \"subname" ;
warn "$__ANON__, ...\n" ;
that only sets the scalar slot of the glob so you could access it as a
scalar. you may just be able to do the second line change and access the
scalar and not the whole glob.
why do you think you need a glob there at all? why not use a scalar and
make it a closure since you seem to access the name from within the same
sub? it may work with setting the lexical scalar from the surrounding
sub or even from inside (then it isn't a closure). if you need dynamic
scoping then the local scalar without a glob may work.
