6 subs - Perl pragma to predeclare sub names
7
9 use subs qw(frob);
10 frob 3..10;
11
13 This will predeclare all the subroutine whose names are in the list,
14 allowing you to use them without parentheses even before they're
15 declared.
16
17 Unlike pragmas that affect the $^H hints variable, the "use vars" and
18 "use subs" declarations are not BLOCK-scoped. They are thus effective
19 for the entire package in which they appear. You may not rescind such
20 declarations with "no vars" or "no subs".

22 See "Pragmatic Modules" in perlmodlib and "strict subs" in strict.
