Unless there is more that you didn't show, that function is not a method
and has no `self`. As I mentioned, if you *do* have an object reference
`self` in scope somehow and want to access a `has $elem` defined within it,
you use the automatically generated accessor `self.elem`. (If it was
declared private, that is `has $!elem`, then I don't think you can get to
it within that function unless it was passed in as a parameter.)
