subs(3) Perl Programmers Reference Guide subs(3)NAMEsubs - Perl pragma to predeclare sub names
SYNOPSIS
use subsqw(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 the Pragmatic Modules entry in the perlmodlib manpage
and the strict subs entry in the strict manpage.
