subs(3)
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.
