NAME
subs - Perl pragma to predeclare sub names
SYNOPSIS
use subs qw(frob);
frob 3..10;
DESCRIPTION
This will predeclare all the subroutine whose names are in the list, allowing you to use them without parentheses even before theyre declared.
Unlike pragmas that affect the
$^Hhints variable, the
use varsand
use subsdeclarations are not BLOCK-scoped. They are thus effective for the entire file in which they appear. You may not rescind such declarations with
no varsor
no subs.
See Pragmatic Modules in perlmodlib and strict subs in strict.
