The source code

package subs;

our $VERSION = '1.00';

=head1 NAME

subs - Perl pragma to predeclare sub names

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use subs qw(frob);
    frob 3..10;

=head1 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 C<$^H> hints variable, the C and
C declarations are not BLOCK-scoped.  They are thus effective
for the entire file in which they appear.  You may not rescind such
declarations with C or C.

See L and L.
