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 they’re declared.

Unlike pragmas that affect the 

$^H
hints variable, the 
use vars
and 
use subs
declarations are not BLOCK-scoped. They are thus effective for the entire file in which they appear. You may not rescind such declarations with 
no vars
or 
no subs
.

See Pragmatic Modules in perlmodlib and strict subs in strict.
